NVIDIA has announced another strong quarter reporting record revenue of $57 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, which ended on October 26, 2025.
It shows a 22% increase from the previous quarter and a 62% jump from the same period last year, showing how fast the company continues to grow.
The biggest driver of this growth was NVIDIA’s Data Center business, which includes its AI and cloud computing chips. This division brought in $51.2 billion, also a new record. Data center revenue increased 25% from last quarter and 66% compared to last year, reflecting the massive worldwide demand for AI hardware.
NVIDIA reported strong profitability as well. The company’s gross margins a measure of how much it earns after production costs, were 73.4% (GAAP) and 73.6% (non-GAAP). Earnings per share for both GAAP and non-GAAP came in at $1.30.
CEO Jensen Huang said demand for NVIDIA’s AI chips continues to explode. “Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out,” he said. He added that AI adoption is growing across every industry and country, describing the momentum as a “virtuous cycle of AI.”
Over the first nine months of fiscal 2026, NVIDIA returned $37 billion to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends. As of the end of Q3, the company still has $62.2 billion available for future share repurchases.
NVIDIA also announced that it will pay its next quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share on December 26, 2025, to shareholders who are on record as of December 4, 2025.
