Nvidia results in focus as stock market's election boost stalls
Nvidia Corp's results in the coming week could guide the U.S. stock market on its next path, as investors turn their focus to the technology sector and artificial intelligence trade after an election-fueled rally stalled. A nearly 800% run in shares of Nvidia over the past two years, driven by its gold standard AI business, has propelled the semiconductor company to the world's top spot by market value. That heft gives Nvidia huge sway in market benchmarks, such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, while its results on Nov. 20 will also be a gauge for the market's appetite for tech stocks, the AI trade and sentiment for equities broadly, investors said.
