February 25th Will Be a Make or Break Day for NVDL

"NVDL offers a straightforward but unforgiving proposition: double Nvidia's daily return, every day. Since launching in December 2022, it has attracted $4.7 billion in assets by amplifying the defining AI infrastructure stock. Shares sit around $79, down nearly 10% year to date after NVDA slipped 4.5% through mid-January. That divergence matters. NVDL didn't deliver exactly double NVDA's decline because daily leverage compounds, a mechanical reality that erodes returns when the underlying stock swings sideways or trends down."

"For anyone holding or considering NVDL, the most important factor to watch is Nvidia's ability to sustain revenue growth above 50% annually. That threshold matters because NVDA's valuation premium, a forward price-to-earnings ratio around 24, depends on maintaining hypergrowth in data center demand. The company posted 62.5% revenue growth year over year in its most recent quarter ending October 2025, reaching $57 billion in sales."

"Track Nvidia's quarterly earnings releases, which occur roughly every three months. The next report lands February 25, 2026, after market close. Pay attention to three figures: data center revenue growth, gross margin trajectory, and management's guidance for the following quarter. Data center sales represent over 80% of total revenue, and any sign of slowing hyperscaler spending from Microsoft, Amazon, or Google will hit the stock hard."

NVDL is a daily-reset 2x leveraged ETF that amplifies Nvidia's price moves and has gathered $4.7 billion since December 2022. Daily leverage causes compounding that can erode returns when NVDA trades sideways or declines. Nvidia's valuation implies continued hypergrowth, with the company reporting 62.5% year-over-year revenue growth to $57 billion in the most recent quarter but showing deceleration from prior triple-digit gains. Data center revenue drives over 80% of sales and gross margins above 75% reflect pricing power. Watch quarterly data center growth, gross margins, and guidance, because slowing hyperscaler demand or margin compression would trigger sharp repricing for NVDA and NVDL.
