10-KPeriod: FY2026

NVIDIA CORP Annual Report, Year Ended Jan 25, 2026

Filed February 25, 2026For Securities:NVDA

Summary

NVIDIA Corporation's fiscal year 2026 filing showcases an exceptionally strong performance, driven by a staggering 65% revenue increase to $215.9 billion. The company's Data Center segment was the primary engine of this growth, up 68%, fueled by the widespread adoption of its accelerated computing and AI platforms, particularly the Blackwell architectures. The Gaming segment also saw significant growth (41%), with impressive demand for Blackwell GPUs, although the company anticipates supply constraints to be a headwind in the upcoming fiscal year. Despite the robust revenue growth and a substantial increase in net income to $120.1 billion, the gross margin experienced a slight decline to 71.1% from 75.0% in the prior year. This was largely attributed to the transition to Blackwell full-scale datacenter solutions and a $4.5 billion charge for H20 excess inventory and purchase obligations. The company continues to invest heavily in research and development (up 43%) and has a strong liquidity position with $62.6 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, alongside significant share repurchase activity. However, ongoing export control restrictions, particularly impacting the China market, remain a significant risk factor, impacting competitive positioning and future revenue potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

NVIDIA reported a significant increase in revenue, up 65% year-over-year, reaching $215.9 billion in fiscal year 2026. This growth was predominantly driven by its Data Center segment, which saw a 68% increase, while the Gaming segment grew by 41%.

NVIDIA's gross margin decreased to 71.1% in fiscal year 2026 from 75.0% in the prior year. This was primarily due to the business model transition from Hopper HGX systems to Blackwell full-scale datacenter solutions, as well as a $4.5 billion charge recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 related to H20 excess inventory and purchase obligations.

A significant risk highlighted is the impact of U.S. export control restrictions, particularly on sales to China, which have effectively foreclosed NVIDIA from competing in China's data center market and benefited competitors. Supply chain constraints are also noted as a potential headwind, especially for the Gaming segment in the upcoming fiscal year. The company also faces ongoing competition and the need to continuously innovate to meet evolving market demands.
