Earnings per share were $1.62, beating the consensus of $1.53. Data center revenue reached $62.3 billion, up 75%. The company anticipates Q1 revenue between $76.44 billion and $79.56 billion, exceeding Street estimates. Nvidia's stock rose 2.9% to $201.36 in after-hours trading. CEO Jensen Huang noted a surge in AI compute investment among customers, indicating strong future growth prospects. **Nvidia Corporation** (NASDAQ:NVDA) reported highly anticipated fourth-quarter financial results on Wednesday after market close. With expectations high for the company coming into the print, here are the key highlights and a look at what's next for the company. ## Nvidia Q4 Earnings Nvidia reported fourth-quarter revenue of $68.13 billion, up 73% from last year's fourth quarter. The record revenue total beat a Street consensus estimate of $66.0 billion, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The company reported quarterly earnings per share of $1.62, beating a Street consensus estimate of $1.53. Here is a look at the revenue performance by operating business segment. Segment Revenue Year-over-Year Change Quarter-over-Quarter Change Data Center $62.3 billion +75% +22% Gaming & AI PC $3.7 billion +47% \-13% Professional Visualization $1.3 billion +159% +74% Automotive $604 million +6% +2% Data center revenue was a quarterly record. Nvidia reported full-year revenue of $215.9 billion, up 65% year-over-year and also a company record. "Computing demand is growing exponentially – the agentic AI inflection point has arrived. Grace Blackwell with NVLink is the king of inference today – delivering an order-of-magnitude lower cost per token – and Vera Rubin will extend that leadership even further," Nvidia CEO **Jensen Huang** said. Huang said, "enterprise adoption of agents is skyrocketing." "Our customers are racing to invest in AI compute – the factories powering the AI industrial revolution and their future growth." The company had $58.5 billion remaining on its existing share repurchase plan at the end of the quarter. Benzinga readers of the morning “Ring the Bell” newsletter correctly predicted Nvidia beating fourth-quarter estimates. In the poll, 84.3% of readers said Nvidia would beat Q4 estimates, while 15.7% said the company would not. ## What's Next for Nvidia? Guidance from the company calls for first-quarter revenue to be in a range of $76.44 billion to $79.56 billion, versus a Street estimate of $71.96 billion. The company expects the non-GAAP gross margin to be 75.0%, plus or minus 50 basis points. Nvidia's guidance does not include any data center compute revenue from China in the first quarter. The company said it has secured inventory and capacity to meet demand for the next several quarters, with supply constraints a potential headwind for the gaming sector in the first quarter and beyond. The market will now digest Nvidia's earnings results and guidance and there could be volatility for the stock, semiconductor companies, the technology sector and the overall global markets. On Wednesday’s episode of “PreMarket Playbook,” a Benzinga daily YouTube show, viewers predicted the answer to what happens to Nvidia stock after Q4 earnings. **“Nvidia Earnings Tonight – What Happens Next?” Benzinga asked.** The results were: - Beat, but already priced in: 53% - Massive beat – New highs incoming: 30% - In-Line, market shrugs: 11% - Miss – AI trade pullback A slim majority of the show's viewers predict an earnings beat, but that the stock won’t have a huge reaction. Thirty percent of viewers predict strong earnings from Nvidia and shares rallying to new highs. ## **Nvidia Stock Price Action** Nvidia stock is up 2.9% to $201.36 in after-hours trading Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $86.62 to $212.19. Nvidia stock is up 3.6% year-to-date in 2026. *Image created using photos from Shutterstock.* ### Related Stocks - [NVDL.US - GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [PSI.US - Invesco Semiconductors ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PSI.US.md) - [NVDY.US - YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [XSD.US - SPDR S&P Semicon](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [SOXX.US - iShares Semiconductor ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [NVDX.US - T-Rex 2X Long NVIDIA Daily Target ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [XLK.US - Spdr Select Tech](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XLK.US.md) - [NVDU.US - Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 2X Shares](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [SOXL.US - Direxion Semicon Bull 3X](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [SMH.US - VanEck Semiconductor ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 英伟达今夜财报大考：要多强才能扭转 AI 泡沫恐慌？ | 要扭转市场对 AI 泡沫的担忧，英伟达不仅需要在营收和利润上大幅超出预期，还必须在现金流兑现、利润率维持以及未来订单指引上给出无懈可击的证明，以安抚对科技巨头债务驱动型支出感到紧张的投资者。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276887894.md) | | 高盛谈 AI 交易：“AI 基建” 的下半年风险，“AI 应用” 的 “输家” 短期难翻身 | 高盛警告，AI 资本开支增速预计将在下半年放缓。这一拐点将直接威胁严重依赖资本开支的 AI 基础设施股，其估值溢价将崩塌。比如，当前英伟达已出现 “盈利大涨、股价却不涨” 的现象。另一方面，深陷 “被颠覆” 恐慌的软件等 AI 应用端输家， | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276974463.md) | | AI 需求还强！英伟达 Q4 营收增 73%，Q1 指引 “炸裂” 创新高，黄仁勋上调 5000 亿收入预期 \| 财报见闻 | Q4 英伟达总营收和数据中心收入均创纪录；得益于 Blackwell 放量，毛利率升破 75%、创一年半新高；数据中心收入超预期同比加速增长 75%，其中网络收入增逾 260%；游戏收入逊于预期，因渠道库存影响环比降 13%，英伟达预计，Q | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276955356.md) | | 英伟达这周的财报会很好，但投资者更关心 3 月 GTC 大会 | 英伟达将于 2 月 25 日美股盘后发布季度财报，市场预期营收 661 亿美元、每股收益 1.54 美元。分析师普遍乐观，但认为亮眼数据未必推动股价上涨，真正催化剂或在三月 GTC 大会释放。今年英伟达股价涨幅仅约 2%，远逊于费城半导体指 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276830031.md) | | 三星电子–迈向 “万亿美元俱乐部” | 大摩调升三星目标价至 24.8 万韩元并列为首选股。DRAM 超级定价周期料延续至 2027 年，叠加 HBM 份额飙升，三星正迎来史上最大规模盈利复苏。万亿美元公司在触及这一市值里程碑后，往往继续跑赢大盘。大摩预测三星利润将于 2027 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276852510.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
