NVIDIA's stock jumps after crushing Q3 earnings

Business Nov 20, 2025

NVIDIA's shares popped 2.85% to $186.52 on Wednesday, thanks to a record-setting $57.01 billion in revenue for Q3 of fiscal 2026—a massive 62% jump from last year.

Why does this matter?

NVIDIA is riding the AI wave hard. Most of its revenue came from its Data Center business, which pulled in $51.2 billion as major companies adopted NVIDIA's Blackwell-powered AI platforms, with partnerships including OpenAI, Google Cloud, and Microsoft.

What's fueling the growth?

With an adjusted net income of $31.77 billion and a hefty $22.09 billion in free cash flow this quarter, NVIDIA isn't just making money—it's sharing it too, returning $37 billion to shareholders so far this year (2026).
The company expects even more growth next quarter as demand for AI infrastructure keeps climbing worldwide.
