Nvidia just posted the kind of quarter that makes other companies’ “record results” look quaint. The chipmaker reported $96.2 billion in revenue for its second quarter of fiscal 2027, a 106% jump from the same period a year ago. That number blew past Wall Street estimates and sent Nasdaq futures climbing 1.1% in early trading on August 27.
Nvidia’s stock responded with roughly a 7% gain in premarket trading.
The numbers behind the surge
The engine driving Nvidia’s results remains its data center business, which pulled in $89.0 billion in revenue. That’s a 117% increase year-over-year, confirming that corporate appetite for AI infrastructure hasn’t faded despite months of hand-wringing about whether spending would slow down.
Adjusted earnings per share came in at $2.22, again beating consensus estimates.
