Nvidia stock jumps after $96.22 billion quarterly sales

Nvidia stock (ISIN US67066G1040) reacted to fiscal Q2 2027 revenue of $96.22 billion, adjusted EPS of $2.22 and a third-quarter revenue outlook of $108 billion on August 26, 2026. After hours, shares traded at $218, up 3.98% from the regular-session close of $209.66, while market value was listed at $5.16 trillion.
Results reset the bar
The quarter ended July 26, 2026 delivered revenue growth of 106% year over year and operating income of $63.96 billion, with the guidance midpoint for Q3 2027 sitting $3.4 billion above the $104.6 billion consensus cited in the market coverage. The same coverage put Data Center revenue at $89.02 billion, a 117% increase from the prior year, which keeps the AI infrastructure buildout at the center of the investment case.
That comparison matters because the company is still translating demand into scale fast enough to outpace expectations. The guidance also implies another quarter above $100 billion in revenue, a threshold that would have been exceptional only a few quarters ago.
Volume and valuation
The stock's move came with heavy trading: regular-session volume was 127.77 million shares, and after-hours volume was 11.41 million shares. The current price also sits well above the 52-week low implied by the same market data set, and the market-cap figure of $5.16 trillion leaves little room for a weak follow-through.
Investors now have two numbers to weigh at once. The quarter's 106% revenue growth is the headline, but the $108 billion guide is the test for whether momentum can keep stretching into the next report.
Blackwell and data center
The company's data-center platform remains the product story behind the numbers, with accelerators, networking and systems tied to AI training and inference demand. That mix matters more than the logo on the chip, because the latest quarter's growth was driven by infrastructure spending rather than consumer electronics or a single one-off sale.
