Nvidia Posts $96.2B Quarter, Doubles Revenue, Guides $108B for Q3
NVIDIA reported its latest quarterly results (most posters labeled it FY2027 Q2): revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% year-over-year and 18% sequentially, with a 75% gross margin and GAAP net income of about $59.7 billion, up 126% YoY. The data center business contributed $89 billion, up 117% YoY and roughly 92.5% of total revenue, with about 55% coming from hyperscalers. The company also issued Q3 revenue guidance of $108 billion, far above market expectations.
Confirmed
- Q2 total revenue of $96.2 billion, +106% YoY, +18% QoQ; gross margin 75%; GAAP net income of $59.69 billion, +126% YoY (@rohanpaulai, @kimmonismus)
- Data center revenue of $89 billion, +117% YoY, about 92.5% of total revenue; roughly 55% from hyperscalers (@rohanpaulai)
- Q3 revenue guidance of $108 billion, which assumes zero compute revenue from China data centers; excluding China data centers, growth would still reach 89% (@kimmonismus, @inductionheads)
- CFO Colette Kress said on the earnings call that revenue is expected to grow about 70% next fiscal year, well above analysts' prior expectation of 44%; she noted customer forecasts point to "growth doubling next year," but current guidance is constrained by supply chain limits (@firstadopter)
- Post m8 noted that at 70% growth, total revenue would reach about $700 billion, and some analysts believe actual results could exceed that guidance, with $750 billion possibly just the baseline expectation
Unconfirmed
- Post m4's figures — "Q2 revenue of $30 billion, Non-GAAP EPS of $0.67, Q3 guidance of $32.5 billion" — clearly conflict with the numbers in other posts, possibly reflecting a different quarter or erroneous data, and cannot be adjudicated from the material
- The fiscal year for the CFO's projected "70% growth next fiscal year" is labeled inconsistently across posts (m3 says fiscal 2028, m8 says "next year"), so its exact fiscal-year attribution is uncertain
Why it matters
Data center now accounts for nearly 93% of NVIDIA's revenue, and even with China business assumed at zero, guidance still reached $108 billion, showing AI compute demand remains robust and customers — especially cloud providers — are clearly committed to capacity expansion. The CFO's 70% growth outlook far exceeds Wall Street consensus; if delivered, it would further cement NVIDIA's central position in the AI compute supply chain, with supply chain capacity becoming the key limiting factor.
