"Nvidia saw revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increase by 56 percent to $46.7 billion, exceeding market expectations. Profits and margins were also higher than predicted. The data center division, with its new Blackwell chips, posted 17 percent quarter-on-quarter growth. For the current quarter, the company is targeting revenue of $54 billion, slightly above consensus but below the most optimistic estimates. Investors had expected more: the stock fell 3 percent after hours."
