For what it's worth, Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish. Among the 65% of analysts who follow Nvidia, 92% rate the stock a buy and the other 8% rate it a hold ahead of the company's third-quarter earnings report. Not a single analyst recommends selling Nvidia at the present time. Here's what investors should know.

Nvidia reports earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 on Nov. 20, making it a huge day for the market and the stock. However, stocks are known to rise or fall dramatically after earnings reports, so investors want to know, "Is Nvidia a buy before Nov. 20?"

Nvidia Corp. may be the top dog on Wall Street in terms of market value, but in the eyes of the 128-year-old Dow Jones Industrial Average, its stock is ranked well below average.

There's a lot riding on Nvidia's upcoming financial report, and many shareholders are wondering whether the stock can possibly continue its breathtaking run. Is it worth picking up shares ahead of its financial report on Nov. 20? Fortunately for investors, data has begun to pile up that could help answer that question. Image source: Getty Images.

The stock is trading at a record high but might still be cheap based on its potential future earnings. It will release its latest quarterly financial results on Nov. 20, and the company's own revenue forecast might be too conservative.

Also know that, unlike the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq Composite, the Dow is weighted by price rather than by market cap. Although Nvidia has an outsized influence on the movements of the cap-weighted benchmarks, at current prices NVDA stock will be as important to the DJIA as, roughly, 3M ( MMM ).
