Nvidia Set to Announce Earnings Amid AI Demand and Impact of Trump-Era Tariffs
Nvidia is scheduled to release its latest earnings report on Wednesday, an event closely watched by investors due to the company’s significant influence on the US stock market. With a market capitalisation exceeding $4 trillion, Nvidia has become the world’s most valuable company over the past two years. The company manufactures graphics processing units (GPUs) essential for artificial intelligence applications, including the Blackwell B200 chip, and supplies major tech firms such as Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet. Nvidia posted annual revenue of $130.5 billion for its last fiscal year ending in late January. For five consecutive quarters between mid-2023 and 2024, Nvidia reported triple-digit revenue growth, and in the most recent quarter, it recorded $44.1 billion in revenue, a 69 percent increase year-over-year. The forthcoming report covers the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, for which Nvidia has projected revenue of $45 billion, plus or minus 2 percent, while some analysts forecast up to $46 billion, representing 53 percent growth year-over-year. The earnings report is also expected to address the effects of the Trump administration’s tariffs, including a ban in April on Nvidia selling its H20 chip to China—an action Nvidia said would cost the company $8 billion. The ban was subsequently reversed when Nvidia agreed to share 15 percent of its H20 chip sales with the US government, a deal finalized on August 11, two weeks after the end of the quarter being reported.
