This Wednesday (Nov. 20th), after US markets close, the world’s biggest company will unveil its latest quarterly financial results, along with its earnings outlook. When Nvidia speaks, global stocks listen, and react. Here's why.

Another slew of key data releases and corporate earnings could rock markets in the week ahead. But the spotlight shines on the world’s largest contract chipmaker with a market cap of almost $1 trillion.

Shares of ASML have been on a tear this year, surpassing the $1000 and €1000 milestone across both exchanges. Its position as the world’s leading manufacturer of chip-making equipment has allowed it to benefit from the A.I. frenzy with shares up over 40% year-to-date.

Given how Nvidia has been at the heart of the AI mania, the stakes are high with investors looking for extraordinary earnings that would justify the eye-popping stock gains.
