NVIDIA Reports Q1 Revenue of $81.6 Billion, Forecasts $91 Billion Next Quarter

NVIDIA posted record revenue of $81.6 billion, but its shares fell 1.6% after hours as investors weighed the challenge of sustaining AI-driven growth amid rising competition.

Fact Check
All three key figures in the claim are confirmed by NVIDIA's own official sources. (1) Q1 revenue of $81.6 billion: confirmed exactly by the official press release 'NVIDIA Announces Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal 2027' and the CFO Commentary. (2) Q2 forecast of ~$91 billion: the CFO Commentary states Q2 FY27 revenue guidance of '$91.0B ±2%', which yields a range of approximately $89.1B–$92.8B — the claim's '$91 billion' is the precise midpoint. (3) $80 billion in additional buybacks: confirmed by both the press release and the CFO Commentary (authorized May 18, 2026, no expiration). The only minor imprecision is that the claim's title rounds to '$81.6 billion' while some secondary sources round to '$82B', but $81.6B is the exact official figure. The claim is substantively accurate in all material respects.
Summary

NVIDIA reported record first-quarter revenue of $81.6 billion, beating expectations, while its shares fell 1.6% in after-hours trading following the release. Existing details show earnings per share of $1.87, data center revenue of $75.2 billion representing 92% of total sales, and second-quarter revenue guidance of $89.1 billion to $92.8 billion. The latest coverage adds that investor attention is increasingly focused on whether NVIDIA can sustain its rapid AI-driven growth as competition rises and market expectations evolve.
