$NVDA Earnings Blowout Again

NVIDIA did it again. The company beat on revenue, beat on earnings, and told investors to expect another quarter of 50%+ growth. The AI wave hasn’t slowed down. If anything, it’s still accelerating.

Revenue for the quarter was $46.7 billion. Net income surged to $26.4 billion. Diluted EPS came in at $1.08. All of it ahead of what Wall Street was braced for.

NVIDIA Revenue by Segment Over Time

Total revenue growth and segment breakdown from Q2 FY25 to Q2 FY26.

The CleaRank analysts also forecasted an earnings blowout well above the street consensus, posting on the official X account a few hours before the report and hosting a spaces event.

The AI Engine and the Shock Line

Data center was the engine. $41.1 billion in sales, up 56% from a year ago. That’s nearly nine out of every ten dollars NVIDIA makes. Large cloud providers made up half of that spend. Blackwell is rolling fast. Blackwell Ultra is already showing up in customer deployments. We recently covered how CoreWeave is shaping NVIDIA’s growth

Networking revenue was the shock. $7.3 billion this quarter, almost double the year before. Demand for NVLink and InfiniBand is surging. Compute revenue slipped 1% from Q1 as H20 sales dropped by $4 billion. NVIDIA said it shipped zero H20 chips into China. Instead, it cleared $180 million of reserved inventory to a client outside China.

Gaming was strong too. $4.3 billion, up 49% from last year. Professional visualization added $601 million. Automotive hit $586 million, a 69% jump. These segments aren’t the story, but they’re no longer rounding errors either.

Profits, Margins, and Market Power

Margins held up. 72.4% GAAP, 72.7% non-GAAP. Lower than last year, but much stronger than the previous quarter when H20 write-downs hit. Operating income climbed to $28.4 billion.

NVIDIA ended the quarter with $56.8 billion in cash. It returned $10 billion to shareholders, repurchasing $9.7 billion of stock. The board signed off on another $60 billion buyback program. No expiration date.

AMD’s Move, NVIDIA’s Shadow

AMD wants in. The MI350 chip is its answer to Blackwell. On paper, it’s competitive. But export restrictions to China are a real headwind. Pricing is another. And the real barrier is software.

CUDA still runs the field.

NVIDIA’s shadow over the market is getting heavier. The stock now accounts for about 8% of the S&P 500. A 10% swing in $NVDA can move the entire index by nearly 0.8%. That’s serious market gravity and a single stock in av vacuum.

The company guided Q3 revenue to $54 billion, plus or minus 2%. Gross margins expected in the mid-70s. The forecast assumes no H20 sales to China.

Nvidia blowout earnings has become a familiar pattern for Investors and the bullish AI cycle continues to steam roll forward. One day when it doesn’t the question of a pullback or bubble remains the enigma,

FAQ

Yes. Revenue landed at $46.7B versus the $46.0B Wall Street was looking for. Adjusted EPS came in at $1.05 against the expected $1.01.

Almost all of it was data center. That unit jumped to $41.1B, up 56% from last year and now nearly 90% of total sales. Networking nearly doubled to $7.3B, while gaming and automotive both posted strong gains.

No H20 shipments this quarter. NVIDIA did move about $180M of reserved H20 inventory to a customer outside China. The China market remains on pause.

The balance sheet shows $56.8B in cash and investments. Management also signed off on a fresh $60B buyback program, a signal they think the rally isn’t done.

It’s a move in the right direction for AMD, but without CUDA it’s not changing the balance yet.

NVIDIA is now 8% of the $SPX. That means every earnings call is effectively a market event.
