A steep slowdown in demand from cryptocurrency miners is tempering enthusiasm for what in many ways is a strong Nvidia (NVDA) earnings report.
After the bell on Thursday, Nvidia reported April quarter (fiscal first quarter) revenue of $3.21 billion (up 66% annually) and GAAP EPS of $1.98, handily beating consensus analyst estimates of $2.89 billion and $1.46. All five of Nvidia’s reported market segments — Gaming, Datacenter, Automotive, Professional Visualization and OEM & IP — beat consensus revenue estimates.
Nvidia also guided for July quarter revenue of $3.1 billion, plus or minus 2%. That implies 39% growth at the midpoint and is above a $2.95 billion consensus.
Nonetheless, shares fell 2.9% in after-hours trading to $252.55. They sold off after CFO Colette Kress stated on Nvidia’s earnings call that July quarter sales of products meant specifically for cryptocurrency miners would be around one-third of an April quarter level of $289 million (9% of Nvidia’s total revenue). GPU archrival AMD’s (AMD) shares fell 1.5% to $11.95.

Thanks in part to higher oil prices, the average energy stock in the S&P 500 is up nearly 17% over the past year. However, those improving market conditions haven’t taken the entire sector higher. Three laggards that stand out are fast-growing, high-yielding MLPs Antero Midstream Partners (NYSE:AM), Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE:SHLX), and EQT Midstream Partners (NYSE:EQM), which have all lost more than 10% of their value over the past year. Because of that, these MLPs look like compelling options for income-seeking investors to consider.

Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By Matthew DiLallo]
Crestwood had talked about potentially increasing its distribution this yearbut decided to hold it flat for 2019. That will allow it to retain more cash to finance some additional expansion projects so that it doesn’t negatively affect its financial profile. One of those projects is a $60 million investment to expand its Arrow water gathering system in the Bakken to support the growth of Enerplus (NYSE:ERF). Crestwood couldn’t pass up this opportunity since the long-term agreement with Enerplus implies an investment multiple of 4, which is higher than its average project.
- [By Matthew DiLallo]
Overall, Crestwood expects to invest $275 million to $325 million into expansion projects this year, slightly above its initial forecast to spend between $250 million and $300 million on capital projects. One driver of the increased budget is that oil and gas producer Enerplus (NYSE:ERF) awarded the company a contract to expand its water system in the Bakken. Crestwood expects to invest $60 million over the next two years on this project, which will help support Enerplus’ volume growth in the region. Meanwhile, the company is in advanced discussions with customers to provide a range of midstream services in the Delaware Basin, which could include building a new natural gas processing plant in the region.

Three Stocks to Watch Today: AAPL, DBX, STMP
Shares of Dropbox Inc. (NYSE: DBX) plunged more than 10% after the company’s forward guidance fell well short of Wall Street expectations Thursday. Even though the firm topped quarterly earnings and revenue expectations, the cloud storage giant announced it would take a large write down on the value of its recent HelloSign acquisition. That will impact company margins in the year ahead, in addition to the firm’s plans to relocate offices to San Francisco, where rents are much higher. Apple Inc.(NASDAQ: AAPL) continues to remain in the headlines. The firm’s iPhone sales had been declining before the company decided to stop reporting unit sales beginning this year. But as Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald told readers in October 2017, Apple is no longer a device company. In fact, it hasn’t been a device company for years. Its shift into services has helped boost investor confidence, and it just made a major announcement that will target firms like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Hulu.
