Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has become the stock market’s biggest star, delivering a 1,200% gain over the past three years, but the company’s fame isn’t due to this performance alone. It’s also linked to this player’s key position in one of today’s biggest growth markets — the artificial intelligence (AI) market — and the promise of what Nvidia may achieve as this AI boom roars on.

Those worries have since disappeared, but in the coming weeks, Nvidia may be heading for another rough patch. In fact, my prediction is Nvidia stock is going to stall out on Nov. 20, following a key moment for the company. Let’s take a closer look.

Before jumping in, we’ll start by considering the Nvidia story so far. The company is a designer of graphics processing units (GPUs), chips that power the most essential of AI tasks like the training and inferencing of models. Nvidia went all in on AI before the real boom even began, tailoring its GPUs for this purpose. It was a major bet, and it turned out to be the perfect one. Thanks to this move, Nvidia established its leadership early, and thanks to its ongoing innovation, it’s maintaining this position.

Now, let’s consider the event that’s coming up after the closing bell on Nov. 19, and this is Nvidia’s fiscal 2026 third-quarter earnings report. I’m optimistic that this will be another great moment for Nvidia — after all, chief Jensen Huang recently said total cumulative shipments of its current Blackwell and the upcoming Rubin platform as well as networking products so far total half a trillion dollars over 2025 and 2026. And the manufacturer of Nvidia chips — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing — as well as Nvidia customers such as Oracle recently have spoken of strong AI demand.

All of this prompts me to predict that Nvidia stock will stall out following its Nov. 19 earnings report. But this doesn’t mean I’m bearish on the stock, as I think any loss of momentum would be short term. In fact, I would use a dip in the shares to add to positions as I’m optimistic about Nvidia over the long haul. So, if I’m right and Nvidia stock loses momentum following its earnings report, growth investors seeking an AI winner may see this as a valuable buying opportunity.
