NVIDIA posts record $81.6B quarter revenue and $80B buyback
NVIDIA just dropped some record-breaking numbers for the quarter ending April 26, 2026, pulling in $81.6 billion in revenue, up 20% from last quarter. Most of this came from their booming data center business.
To top it off, NVIDIA is authorizing an $80 billion share buyback, giving a big nod to its investors.
Colette Kress credits Blackwell adoption
CFO Colette Kress says the surge is thanks to everyone, from cloud giants to AI developers, jumping on board with NVIDIA's new Blackwell chip architecture.
Looking ahead, they're aiming for $91 billion next quarter (growth's slowing a bit but still strong).
Meanwhile, NVIDIA nearly doubled its stakes in privately held companies to $43 billion between January and April and made some huge new investments, though sales to China are still stuck due to export uncertainties.
