NVIDIA Corporation Revenue & Financials

Revenue of $215.9 billion in FY2026, up 65% from $130.5 billion in FY2025 and from $44.9 billion in FY2023, represents one of the steepest revenue acceleration curves in the history of large-cap technology companies. Net income of $120.1 billion on that revenue base — a 55.6% net margin — reflects the pricing power available to a company whose products are scarce, urgently needed, and practically irreplaceable within any reasonable planning horizon for AI infrastructure buyers. The Data Center segment dominates, generating the vast majority of revenue. The H100 GPU at launch was sold for approximately $30,000 to $40,000 per unit, with hyperscalers purchasing them in quantities of tens of thousands. The Blackwell architecture, introduced in FY2025, commands higher prices per unit and higher revenues per rack, as NVLink GB200 systems integrate multiple GPUs and networking components into a single sales unit. The gross margin on Data Center hardware, sustained above 70%, is more typically associated with software businesses than with semiconductor manufacturing. The inventory risk that periodic semiconductor downturns create — the 2022-2023 gaming GPU correction, for example, led to a multi-quarter revenue decline in that segment — does not currently apply to Data Center at the same severity. Hyperscaler AI infrastructure spending is driven by competitive dynamics among Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta that make voluntary reduction of GPU purchases strategically costly. Each company's AI capability relative to competitors depends on compute access, creating a demand floor that cyclical economic conditions affect less than they affect gaming or automotive semiconductor demand. Free cash flow at NVIDIA's current scale provides capital allocation flexibility that most companies never access. Share repurchases, R&D investment in future GPU generations, and potential acquisitions — though the failed Arm acquisition in 2022 demonstrated the regulatory constraints on defining M&A — all compete for a capital base that is growing faster than management's ability to deploy it productively.
