  • The Invest.MT5 Account allows you to buy real stocks and shares from some of the largest stock exchanges in the world.
  • Risk Warning: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results or future performance. All trading is high risk, and you can lose more than you risk on a trade. Never invest more than you can afford to lose as some trades will lose and some trades will win. Start small to understand your own risk tolerance levels or practice on a demo account first to build your knowledge before investing.
  • Trading is not suitable for everyone. Trading is highly speculative and carries a significant risk of loss. While it offers potential opportunities, it also involves high volatility, and leveraged trading can amplify both gains and losses. Retail investors should fully understand these risks before trading.

NVIDIA’s Fiscal Q4 2026 Earnings Performance Summary

Performance Metric Actual Result Expected Result Beat or Miss?
Adjusted Earnings Per Share $1.76 $1.53 Beat
Revenue $68.13 billion    $66.21 billion    Beat

Key Takeaways 

  • Revenue growth remained exceptionally strong, driven by broad-based strength across segments, particularly accelerating demand for AI and data centre infrastructure. Fiscal Q4 revenue came in at $68.1 billion, increasing 73% year on year and 20% quarter on quarter, marking record quarterly revenue and the largest QoQ growth in the company’s history. 
  • Profitability remained strong, with earnings scaling alongside revenue growth. Net income increased 79% YoY, while adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.76, up 98% YoY.
  • Core operating segments showed strong momentum, particularly in Data Centre and Professional Visualisation.
    • Data Centre remained the primary growth driver, with Q4 revenue up 75% YoY, fuelled by accelerating demand for AI and cloud computing.
    • The Gaming and AI PC segments remained healthy, with revenue up 47% YoY to $3.7 billion, driven by strong Blackwell demand, although it declined 13% from the previous quarter as channel inventory naturally moderated following a season of strong holiday demand.
    • Professional Visualisation was the standout performer, with revenue up 159% YoY and 74% QoQ to $1.3 billion, driven by exceptional demand for Blackwell and AI-focused workstation products.
    • Automotive and Robotics grew more steadily, with revenue up 6% YoY, supported by continued adoption of NVIDIA’s self-driving platforms. 
  •  Management highlighted an inflection point in AI demand, signalling continued strong growth ahead. CEO Jensen Huang said, “Computing demand is growing exponentially,” and that enterprise adoption of AI agents is “skyrocketing,” with customers racing to invest in AI compute.
  • Guidance pointed to continued momentum. NVIDIA expects first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $78.0 billion (±2%), and noted that this outlook does not assume any Data Centre compute revenue from China.

Trading Strategy Example: NVIDIA Corp.

The following trading examples are for educational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice. Investors should conduct independent research before making trading decisions. An example trading idea for the NVIDIA share price could be as follows: 

Entry: Break above the earnings-day high at $198.00 
Target: Just below the highest analyst price target at $380.00  
Risk: Small, maximum 5% of the account 
Timeline: 1-12 months 
TRADE EXAMPLE  
Buy 10 NVIDIA Shares: $1,980.00 (10 * $198.00)     
If Target Reached: $1,820.00 potential profit [($380.00 - $198.00)* 10]
If Target Not Reached: Let's say the price fell and the trader decided to close the trade below their entry price, at $150.00. This would result in a $480.00 loss [($198.00 - $150.00) * 10]   
Invest.MT5 Account Commission: 10 shares * $0.02 per share for US stocks = $0.20 (Triggers Minimum Transaction Fee of $1.00) 

Remember, markets are volatile, and NVIDIA’s share price can fluctuate and may even trend lower. While demand for AI infrastructure remains strong, uncertainty around export controls and regulation could weigh on growth expectations and investor sentiment.  

Moreover, any moderation in large-scale AI spending, rising costs, supply-chain pressures, or broader market shifts could influence how the company performs over time.
