Blackwell Ultra is now our leading architecture across all customer categories while our prior Blackwell architecture saw continued strong demand."

"The availability of data centers, energy, and capital to support the buildout of NVIDIA AI infrastructure by our customers is crucial, and any shortage of these resources could impact our future revenue and financial performance."

"In April 2025, the U.S. government informed us that a license is required for exports of our H20 product into the China market. As a result of these new requirements, we incurred a $4.5 billion charge in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 associated with H20 for excess inventory and purchase obligations."

Q2 2025

10-Q • Filed 8/27/2025

bullish

Summary

NVIDIA delivered exceptional Q2 FY2026 results with $46.7B revenue (+56% YoY) and $26.4B net income (+59% YoY), driven by massive Data Center demand for accelerated computing and AI solutions, particularly Blackwell architecture ramping successfully. Gross margins expanded sequentially to 72.4% despite near-term H20 regulatory headwinds ($4.5B charge in Q1), demonstrating strong underlying business momentum with two direct customers representing 39% of revenue. Strong cash generation ($42.8B operating cash flow, $39.7B free cash flow) and aggressive capital deployment ($9.7B share repurchases in Q2 alone) underscore management confidence, though regulatory uncertainty around export controls and potential new AI-related licensing requirements present material near-term risks.
