1. Nvidia's Winning Streak Slows Down

Nvidia (NVDA -2.93%) managed an eighth consecutive quarter ahead of predictions, but its share price dropped ahead of trading, albeit not as much as after Q2 results. Given the stock's 200% climb in the past year, it's no surprise to see a bit of profit-taking.

  • "The hype around Nvidia is waning": Fool analyst Seth Jayson commented, "This is an impressive performance, but unfortunately, the market wants more."
