TLDR

NVIDIA on Wednesday, August 26, 2026 posted fiscal Q2 2027 (ended July): revenue $96.221 billion (+18% Q/Q, +106% Y/Y). Data Center $89.0 billion (+117% Y/Y). GAAP net income $59.688 billion / $2.46 per share; non-GAAP EPS $2.22; gross margin 75.0%. Q3 outlook $108.0 billion ±2%, with no China Data Center compute. On the call, Colette Kress pointed to ~70% FY28 revenue growth versus ~44% Street, and a supply bottleneck through at least January 2028. Vera Rubin was ~one-fifth of Data Center revenue this quarter. Edge Computing $7.2 billion. Buybacks plus dividends ~$26 billion; $99 billion remaining authorization. Jensen Huang: “AI has reached its inflection point… Now, compute is revenue.”

The print

Item NVIDIA newsroom Aug 26
Revenue $96.221B
Data Center $89.0B
Q3 guide $108.0B ±2%; no China DC compute
Rubin mix ~20% of DC this quarter
FY28 color ~70% growth (Kress)

Same-day AWS +2 million GPUs is a separate infra slug. Do not fold PORTS-Pike (17), $500B MOUs (10), or server-price hikes (22) into the earnings print.

Product-line de-dupe: earnings AWS capacity Hugging Face talks (same calendar day).

Why this story matters

Nvidia is no longer asking investors to wait for Rubin. It is already 20% of the DC line, with a $108 billion next-quarter guide and a China-zero data-center print. Watch: whether the 70% FY28 number survives a Rubin yield miss, and how long $99 billion of remaining buybacks lasts if the stock treats this as peak.
