The AI build-out, one quarter at a time.
Revenue doubled to $96.2B last quarter, $89B of it from data centers, and Nvidia guides to $108B next, its first $100B+ quarter, without any China data center sales. The watch points are margins, squeezed by soaring memory prices, and cash: customers are getting longer to pay.
Price, last 12 months
Daily closes with the 50-day average. Nvidia ranged between about $164 and $243 over the past year.
Revenue and margins, by quarter
Revenue in US$ millions, with gross margin on the right axis. Nvidia's fiscal year ends in late January; Q2 FY27 ended July 26, 2026. Q1 FY26's 60.5% margin includes an H20 inventory charge. The last bar is guidance at the midpoint.

Watch list
What moves the thesis, sorted by direction.
Demand outruns supply
Q3 is guided to $108B, and Vera Rubin should be about 20% of data center revenue in Q3, with hyperscale growth re-accelerating in Q4.
Memory costs hit margins
Management says memory prices rose more than expected. Gross margin is guided to 74% in Q3 and 71–72% in Q4 before price increases restore 72–73% in FY28.
Longer payment terms
Days sales outstanding rose to 60 as Nvidia gave big customers longer to pay, and inventory reached $32B ahead of Vera Rubin. Free cash flow fell to $21.4B from $48.6B.
China and concentration
Guidance assumes no China data center compute revenue. A handful of hyperscalers and AI labs buy most of the output.
