Semiconductor name NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) will report third-quarter financial results after today's close. This is shaping up to be a big report for the company given its lead in the artificial intelligence (AI) space. During yesterday's trading, NVDA hit a new all-time high of $505.48, and now stands more than 240% higher year to date. Ahead of the event, the equity was last seen 1.6% lower at $496.18.

A post-earnings move higher looks likely, given the shares history of positive next-day reactions. In fact, Nvidia stock moved higher in six of its last eight next-day sessions, including its last three quarterly reports. Options traders are pricing in an 8.4% post-earnings swing for the stock this time, which is slightly larger than the 8.1% move the equity averaged after its last eight reports.

The options pits are firmly in the bullish camp. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), the stock's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 1.54 sits higher than 100% of readings from the past year. In other words, long calls have been picked up at a faster-than-usual clip in the past 10 weeks.
