<p><strong>Nvidia Corporation</strong> (NASDAQ:NVDA) reported highly anticipated first-quarter financial results on Wednesday after market close.</p>



<p>With expectations high for the company heading into the print, here are the key highlights and a look at what’s next.</p>



<h2>Nvidia Q1 Earnings</h2>



<p>Nvidia reported first-quarter revenue of $81.615 billion, up 85% year-over-year. The revenue figure beat a Street consensus estimate of $78.796 billion, according to data from Benzinga Pro.</p>



<p>The company reported earnings per share of $1.87, beating a Street consensus estimate of $1.76.</p>



<p>Revenue was split into two new reporting segments:</p>



<ul>
<li>Data Center: $75.2 billion, +92% year-over-year</li>



<li>Edge Computing: $6.4 billion, +29% year-over-year</li>
</ul>



<p>Under the previous reporting business segments, Data Center compute revenue was a record $60.4 billion, up 77% year-over-year. Data Center networking revenue hit $14.8 billion in the quarter, up 199% year-over-year.</p>



<p>&#34;The buildout of AI factories – the largest infrastructure expansion in human history – is accelerating at extraordinary speed,&#34; Nvidia CEO <strong>Jensen Huang </strong>said. &#34;Agentic AI has arrived, doing productive work, generating real value and scaling rapidly across companies and industries.&#34;</p>



<p>Huang said Nvidia is at the center of this transformation and is the only platform that &#34;runs in every cloud&#34; and &#34;scales everywhere AI is produced – from hyperscale data centers to the edge.&#34;</p>



<p>Nvidia announced an additional $80 billion in share buybacks approved. The company also announced it is increasing its quarterly dividend payout from 1 cent per quarter to a new rate of 25 cents per quarter beginning with the June 26, 2026 payout.</p>

<h2><strong>What’s Next for Nvidia?</strong></h2>



<p>Guidance from the company calls for second-quarter revenue to be in a range of $89.18 billion to $92.820 billion versus a Street consensus estimate of $86.620 billion.</p>



<p>The company said its transition to the new reporting framework &#34;better reflects its current and future growth drivers.&#34;</p>



<p>Within Data Center, there will be the sub-markets of Hyperscale and ACIE (AI Clouds, Industrial and Enterprise) going forward.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<h2><strong>Nvidia Stock Price Action</strong></h2>



<p>Nvidia stock is currently flat at $223.27 in after-hours trading Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $129.16 to $236.54.</p>
