The rally in U.S. stocks faces an important test with earnings from chipmaking giant Nvidia NVDA.O, whose blistering run has powered markets throughout 2024. The S&P 500 .SPX has pared a sharp drop it suffered after U.S. economic worries contributed to a sell-off at the beginning of the month and again stands near a fresh all-time high.

美国股市的反弹面临一个重要的考验，芯片制造巨头英伟达 (Nvidia) NVDA.O 的盈利，该公司强劲的业绩为整个 2024 年的市场提供了动力。标准普尔 500 指数 (SPX) 收复了本月初因美国经济担忧导致抛售而遭受的大幅下跌，并再次接近历史新高。

Nvidia, whose chips are widely seen as the gold standard in artificial intelligence, has been at the forefront of that rally, jumping by more than 30% since its recent lows. The stock is up some 150% year-to-date, accounting for around a quarter of the S&P 500’s 17% year-to-date gain.

英伟达的芯片被广泛视为人工智能的黄金标准，该公司一直处于这波反弹的前沿，自近期低点以来已上涨超过 30%。该股今年迄今已上涨约 150%，约占标准普尔 500 指数今年迄今 17% 涨幅的四分之一。

The company’s Aug. 28 earnings report, coupled with guidance on whether it expects corporate investments in AI to continue, could be a key inflection point for market sentiment heading into what is historically a volatile time of the year. The S&P 500 has fallen in September by an average of 0.78% since World War Two, the worst performance of any month, according to CFRA data.

该公司 8 月 28 日的收益报告，加上其是否预计企业将继续投资人工智能的指引，可能是市场情绪进入历史上动荡时期的关键转折点。根据 CFRA 的数据，自二战以来，标准普尔 500 指数 9 月份平均下跌 0.78%，是所有月份中表现最差的。

"Nvidia is the zeitgeist stock today," said Mike Smith, a portfolio manager at Allspring Global Investments, which holds the company's shares in its portfolios. "You can think of their earnings four times a year as the Super Bowl."

Allspring Global Investments 的投资组合经理迈克·史密斯 (Mike Smith) 表示：“Nvidia 是当今的时代精神股票。”Allspring Global Investments 持有该公司的股票。“你可以把他们一年四次的收益想象成超级碗。”

Some investors are getting ready for fireworks. Traders are pricing in a swing of around 10.3% in Nvidia’s shares the day after the company reports earnings, according to data from options analytic firm ORATS. That's larger than the expected move ahead of any Nvidia report over the last three years and well above the stock's average post-earnings move of 8.1% over that same period, ORATS data showed.

一些投资者正在为烟花做准备。期权分析公司 ORATS 的数据显示，交易员预计 Nvidia 公布收益后的第二天股价将波动约 10.3%。ORATS 数据显示，这比过去三年 Nvidia 报告发布前的预期波动更大，也远高于该股同期收益发布后 8.1% 的平均波动。

The results come at the end of an earnings season during which investors have taken a less forgiving view of big tech companies whose earnings failed to justify rich valuations or prodigious spending on AI. Examples include Microsoft MSFT.O, Tesla TSLA.O and Alphabet GOOGL.O, whose shares are all down since their July reports.

财报季即将结束之际，投资者对大型科技公司的看法并不宽容，这些公司的盈利无法证明其高估值或在人工智能方面投入巨额资金的合理性。微软 MSFT.O、特斯拉 TSLA.O 和 Alphabet GOOGL.O 等公司自 7 月份公布财报以来股价均有所下跌。
