Nvidia – Not A Lot Of Reward For The Risk
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on May 28, 2025
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on May 28, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the fading excitement around Nvidia heading into earnings, pointing out that options markets are pricing in a low-move expectation with minimal skew—suggesting traders don’t anticipate major volatility.
They explain how prior dealer positioning led to selling pressure post-earnings and warn that similar conditions may play out again.
The discussion also highlights Nvidia’s exposure to China, including growing risks from China’s open-source AI progress and chip design competition, which could hurt Nvidia’s margins longer term.
Despite recent rallies, they argue that upside may be limited due to geopolitical risks, lower CapEx enthusiasm, and weak positioning from institutional players.
