Nvidia, the chipmaker whose GPUs power most of the world's artificial-intelligence workloads, delivered a fiscal third quarter that once again leaned heavily on its data-center business, and the stock responded with a 2.95% gain to 210.69 USD on June 14, 2026. Revenue hit $57.0 billion, up 62% from a year earlier.
At a Glance
- Q3 revenue of $57.0 billion, up 62% year over year; net income of $31.9 billion, or $1.30 a share.
- Data-center sales of $51.2 billion drove the quarter; gaming contributed $4.3 billion.
- Guidance of roughly $65 billion for the current quarter topped analyst forecasts.
- China data-center revenue remained near zero under U.S. export restrictions.
- Shares trade at 210.69 USD with a 5.10T market cap and a 32.12 P/E.

The headline driver was Blackwell, Nvidia's newest GPU architecture. Chief executive Jensen Huang described demand as "off the charts" and said the latest systems were already sold out well into next year. Cloud operators, he noted, are renting out their Blackwell capacity nearly as quickly as it can be installed. Finance chief Colette Kress guided analysts toward about $65 billion in revenue for the current quarter, comfortably above the Street's expectations.
The quarter wasn't flawless. Nvidia again recorded essentially no data-center revenue from China, where U.S. export rules continue to block its most advanced parts. Huang said the company has largely written off its China expectations and now treats any sales there as potential upside rather than a planning assumption. Some analysts caution that a prolonged shutout could give domestic Chinese competitors time to close the gap.
Gross margin held near 73%, a figure most hardware makers would envy, though it has dipped slightly as the more complex Blackwell systems ramp into volume. Kress expects margins to climb back into the mid-70s next year as production matures. Gaming, once the company's core, brought in $4.3 billion, a measure of how thoroughly the AI buildout has reshaped the business.
What the Numbers Say
At 210.69 USD, Nvidia carries a market value of 5.10 trillion and trades at a P/E of 32.12. Against trailing earnings, that multiple is rich but not extreme for a company growing revenue at 62% a year. The dividend yield of 0.47% is token, in line with a firm that returns most of its cash through buybacks and reinvestment rather than payouts.
Momentum sits squarely in neutral. The relative strength index reads 50.3, the midpoint of its range, signaling neither overbought nor oversold conditions despite a share price that has more than doubled over the past year. The 52-week range tells the wider story: from a low of 171.37 to a high of 236.54, the current price sits closer to the top of the band but still below the peak.
The bull case
- Data-center revenue of $51.2 billion shows demand is concentrated and accelerating, not flattening.
- Blackwell capacity is sold out into next year, giving forward visibility most chipmakers lack.
- Guidance of $65 billion for the current quarter beat consensus, and management expects margins to recover.
The bear case
- Expectations are already lofty, and shares swung in volatile after-hours trading as traders weighed strong guidance against the price.
- China remains closed, removing a major market and potentially nurturing rivals.
- Investors are increasingly nervous about whether the hundreds of billions flowing into AI infrastructure will earn a return, and Nvidia's results have become a referendum on that bet.
Huang pushed back on talk of an AI bubble, framing the move from general-purpose to accelerated computing as a multitrillion-dollar transition still in its early stages. Whether that thesis holds will determine how the current valuation looks a year from now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Nvidia's data-center segment so important?
Data-center sales of $51.2 billion made up the bulk of the $57.0 billion in quarterly revenue, meaning the segment effectively defines the company's results and its exposure to the AI spending cycle.
What is Blackwell?
Blackwell is Nvidia's latest GPU architecture. Management says demand has outstripped supply, with systems sold out into next year and cloud providers leasing capacity almost as fast as it is installed.
How does the China situation affect Nvidia?
U.S. export rules block Nvidia's most advanced chips from China, leaving its data-center revenue there near zero. The company now treats any future Chinese sales as upside rather than a baseline.
Where Things Stand
The quarter reinforced that the AI economy still runs largely on Nvidia's silicon, and the order book shows no sign of cooling. The open questions are valuation, the China overhang and whether the broader industry's spending will pay off. For now the figures speak for themselves: 62% growth, $65 billion in projected sales and a stock priced for continued execution.
