 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.
