NVIDIA Reports Record Q1 Revenue Amid AI Demand and China Export Setback
NVIDIA reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $44.1 billion, up 12% from the previous quarter and 69% year-over-year, surpassing the consensus estimate of $43.31 billion. Earnings per diluted share came in at $0.76, or $0.81 excluding certain charges. Adjusted for a $4.5 billion charge related to excess inventory and purchase obligations tied to H20 chips impacted by new U.S. export restrictions, earnings per share would have been $0.96, above the analyst estimate of $0.93.
NVIDIA’s data center division, which includes AI chips, generated $39.1 billion in revenue, up 73% year-over-year and accounting for nearly 90% of total revenue. Gaming revenue hit a record $3.8 billion, up 42%, while automotive and robotics revenue rose 72% to $567 million. Net income increased 26% to $18.8 billion from the year-ago period.
Due to recent export controls on its H20 chips bound for China, NVIDIA incurred a $4.5 billion charge and was unable to ship $2.5 billion in expected revenue. Excluding this impact, product margins would have been 71.3%, compared to the reported 61%. For the second quarter, NVIDIA expects revenue of $45 billion, plus or minus 2%, below the consensus forecast of $45.21 billion. The outlook reflects an estimated $8 billion revenue loss from the H20 restriction.
Product margins are projected at around 72%, with expectations to reach the mid-70% range later in the year. Operating expenses are projected to be $5.7 billion on a reported basis and $4 billion on an adjusted basis. Other income is estimated at $450 million, and the expected tax rate is 16.5%, excluding one-time items.
