SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today reported record revenue for the fourth quarter ended January 25, 2026, of $68.1 billion, up 20% from the previous quarter and up 73% from a year ago. For fiscal 2026, revenue was $215.9 billion, up 65% from a year ago.
For the quarter, GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins were 75.0% and 75.2%, respectively. For fiscal 2026, GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins were 71.1% and 71.3%, respectively.
For the quarter, GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $1.76 and $1.62, respectively. For fiscal 2026, GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $4.90 and $4.77, respectively.
"Computing demand is growing exponentially - the agentic AI inflection point has arrived. Grace Blackwell with NVLink is the king of inference today - delivering an order-of-magnitude lower cost per token - and Vera Rubin will extend that leadership even further," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "Enterprise adoption of agents is skyrocketing. Our customers are racing to invest in AI compute - the factories powering the AI industrial revolution and their future growth."
During fiscal 2026, NVIDIA returned $41.1 billion to shareholders in the form of shares repurchased and cash dividends. As of the end of the fourth quarter, the company had $58.5 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization.
NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share on April 1, 2026, to all shareholders of record on March 11, 2026.

Outlook
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA will include stock-based compensation expense in non-GAAP financial measures. Stock-based compensation is a foundational component of NVIDIA's compensation program to attract and retain world-class talent.
NVIDIA's outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 is as follows:
- Revenue is expected to be $78.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. NVIDIA is not assuming any Data Center compute revenue from China in its outlook.
- GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 74.9% and 75.0%, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points, inclusive of a 0.1% impact from stock-based compensation expense.
- GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $7.7 billion and $7.5 billion, respectively, inclusive of $1.9 billion of stock-based compensation expense.
For the full year fiscal 2027, GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are expected to be between 17.0% and 19.0%, excluding any discrete items and material changes to NVIDIA's tax environment.

CFO Commentary

Conference Call and Webcast Information
NVIDIA will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss its fourth quarter and fiscal 2026 financial results and current financial prospects today at 2 p.m. Pacific time (5 p.m. Eastern time). A live webcast (listen-only mode) of the conference call will be accessible at NVIDIA's investor relations website, https://investor.nvidia.com. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay until NVIDIA's conference call to discuss its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2027.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement NVIDIA's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per diluted share, and free cash flow. For NVIDIA's investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and other costs, other, gains/losses from non-marketable and publicly-held equity securities, net, interest expense related to amortization of debt discount, and the associated tax impact of these items where applicable. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA's non-GAAP financial measures will no longer exclude stock-based compensation expense. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less both purchases related to property and equipment and intangible assets and principal payments on property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user's overall understanding of the company's historical financial performance. The presentation of the company's non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the company's non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
