Nvidia Q3 FY2027 Earnings Date Set for November 17, 2026

Nvidia has confirmed it will report its third-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings after the market closes on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, with a conference call starting at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET), the company said in an investor-relations announcement. The report covers the quarter that ended October 25, 2026, and will be webcast live, and later archived, on investor.nvidia.com.

The confirmed date and how to watch

In a press release titled "NVIDIA Sets Conference Call for Third-Quarter Financial Results", Nvidia said it "will host a conference call on Tuesday, November 17, at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET) to discuss its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2027, which ended October 25, 2026." The announcement, posted to Nvidia's official newsroom, says the webcast will be available in listen-only mode on investor.nvidia.com, with live questions limited to financial analysts and institutional investors. A replay will remain posted on the investor site until the following quarterly call.

Nvidia also confirmed that CFO Colette Kress will publish her customary written commentary on the quarter's results on investor.nvidia.com immediately after the numbers are released, at approximately 1:20 p.m. PT — about 40 minutes before the call itself begins. That commentary has become, in recent quarters, the fastest way to get Nvidia's own framing of the results before the call's prepared remarks and Q&A.

Why this report matters right now

Nvidia's results have become the closest thing Wall Street has to a single, regular data point on the health of the broader AI build-out. The company's own most recent quarterly release leaned heavily on that framing: CEO Jensen Huang said in the Q2 FY2027 release that "AI has reached its inflection point," adding that "the AI infrastructure buildout is at full steam."

Two product transitions make the November 17 report more closely watched than a routine quarterly update. First, Nvidia's Blackwell architecture — including the higher-memory Blackwell Ultra variant — has been the primary driver of Data Center revenue through fiscal 2027, and Nvidia said in its Q2 release that Blackwell "led across every category" in the MLPerf Training 6.0 benchmark round. Second, Nvidia's next platform, Vera Rubin, is moving from early shipments toward volume: the company said in August that Vera Rubin was "ramping into full production," naming CoreWeave, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Nebius among the cloud partners bringing up Vera Rubin racks. How much of that ramp shows up in October-quarter revenue and in Nvidia's guidance for the holiday quarter is one of the central questions this report is expected to answer.

That matters beyond Nvidia's own stock price. Because Nvidia supplies the GPUs that power most large-scale AI training and inference, its quarterly numbers are routinely treated as a proxy for how fast cloud providers, AI labs and enterprises are actually spending on AI infrastructure, rather than how fast they say they plan to spend. A Data Center number that comes in well above or below Nvidia's own guidance tends to move sentiment around the rest of the AI hardware supply chain, including the memory, networking and server-assembly companies that build around Nvidia's GPUs. None of that is a claim Nvidia makes about itself; it's simply why a single company's earnings call has become a closely watched fixture on the market calendar, on top of being material information about Nvidia specifically.

A quick note on Nvidia's fiscal calendar

Nvidia's fiscal year runs roughly a year ahead of the calendar, which trips up readers who aren't used to it. The "third quarter of fiscal year 2027" that Nvidia will report on November 17, 2026, covers the three months that ended October 25, 2026 — a period that, on a calendar-year basis, most people would simply call "the third calendar quarter of 2026." Nvidia's own press materials consistently use the fiscal-year label, so this piece does too, but it's worth keeping in mind when comparing Nvidia's numbers with companies that report on a calendar-year schedule.

What Nvidia actually reported last time

Because Nvidia has not yet reported the October quarter, the most recent official numbers on the books are from fiscal Q2 2027 (the quarter ended July 26, 2026), announced August 26, 2026. Nvidia's own release and its investor-relations site show the following, reported in GAAP and non-GAAP terms:

Figures above are Nvidia's own, as published in its Q2 FY2027 earnings release and confirmed in Nvidia's Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Notably, Nvidia's release does not break out a standalone "Gaming" revenue line. Since its fiscal Q1 2027 report, Nvidia has reported an "Edge Computing" category that groups consumer GPUs with other client-side hardware, rather than disclosing GeForce gaming revenue on its own. Readers who want a game-by-game breakdown of what's selling at retail won't find it in Nvidia's own release — the company's own reported segments are now essentially Data Center and Edge Computing.

Alongside that quarter's results, Nvidia also confirmed a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share, paid October 1, 2026, to shareholders of record as of September 10, 2026 — a detail tracked on Nvidia's own dividend history page.

For additional trend context, Nvidia's own financial tables show total revenue of $81,615 million (about $81.6 billion) for fiscal Q1 2027, the quarter immediately before the one recapped above. Put together, Nvidia's own reported numbers show total revenue climbing from roughly $81.6 billion to $96.2 billion across its first two fiscal-2027 quarters, with Data Center growth outpacing the company total in both periods. The November 17 report will add a third data point to that trend, covering the July-to-October quarter.

How the call itself works

Nvidia's quarterly report follows a format the company has used consistently: a written press release and financial tables go out first, Colette Kress's prepared CFO commentary is posted to investor.nvidia.com roughly ten minutes later, and then the live call begins, hosted by Nvidia's investor relations team with Huang and Kress taking questions. Nvidia has said the live Q&A is restricted to financial analysts and institutional investors rather than the general public or press, though the audio webcast itself is open to anyone on investor.nvidia.com, and a replay stays posted there until the following quarter's call. There is no indication in Nvidia's own materials of any change to that format for the November 17 report.

Nvidia's own guidance for the quarter being reported

Alongside the Q2 numbers, Nvidia issued its own outlook for the very quarter now being finalized. The company said it expects fiscal Q3 2027 revenue of $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, with GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins both expected at 74.0%, plus or minus 50 basis points, per the same SEC-filed release. Nvidia explicitly said this outlook does not assume any Data Center compute revenue from China. Whether Nvidia's actual October-quarter results land inside, above, or below that self-issued range — which anyone can check against the live numbers Nvidia posts on investor.nvidia.com on November 17 — is the first and most mechanical thing the report will settle.

What to watch: Data Center vs. Edge Computing

Given that Data Center revenue made up more than 92% of total revenue last quarter, the split between Data Center and Edge Computing growth rates will again be the headline number. A deceleration in Data Center growth, even from an enormous base, tends to move Nvidia's stock more than almost any other single line in the release. Investors will also be listening for commentary on capacity: whether Nvidia can supply enough Blackwell Ultra and early Vera Rubin systems to meet demand from hyperscale and "neocloud" customers, and whether any supply constraints show up as deferred revenue rather than lost demand.

What to watch: Guidance for the holiday quarter

Nvidia's guidance for its fiscal Q4 2027 (the quarter covering the holidays, which it will issue alongside the Q3 results) will be read as an early signal of 2027 AI capital-spending trends among its largest customers. Because Nvidia's outlook has explicitly excluded China Data Center compute revenue in recent quarters, any change in that language — for better or worse — is likely to draw as much attention as the headline guidance number itself.

What to watch: Pricing and supply commentary

On the earnings call, analysts typically press Nvidia executives on gross-margin trends tied to the cost and mix of high-bandwidth memory and advanced packaging, since those inputs affect both data-center system pricing and the positioning of consumer cards built on the same silicon roadmap. Nvidia's own guidance already points to gross margin cooling slightly from 75.0% to roughly 74.0%; any further commentary on memory costs or packaging capacity on the call would be Nvidia's own words on the subject, as opposed to third-party pricing trackers. Readers following retail GPU pricing separately, including how official MSRPs compare with street prices for cards like the ones compared in our RTX 5070 vs. RTX 5070 Ti breakdown, should treat the earnings call as a read on overall supply conditions rather than a direct source for consumer prices.

The wider AI hardware earnings cycle

Nvidia's November 17 report lands in the middle of a broader run of AI-cycle earnings from hardware suppliers. Memory makers that supply the high-bandwidth memory used in Nvidia's own Data Center GPUs have each flagged AI-driven demand in their own recent results, including Micron's record AI-memory-driven quarter and SK hynix's sharp profit jump. None of those releases are a substitute for Nvidia's own numbers, but they sit upstream of Nvidia's supply chain and are part of why this particular earnings date is drawing outsized attention from investors and the broader tech industry alike.

What to watch for on November 17

• Whether revenue lands inside Nvidia's own $108.0 billion (±2%) guidance — the most direct test of the quarter.
• The Data Center vs. Edge Computing growth split, and whether Data Center growth is decelerating from its 117% year-over-year pace.
• Gross margin, against Nvidia's own 74.0% (±50 bps) guidance, as a read on component costs and product mix.
• Any update on China Data Center compute revenue assumptions, which Nvidia has excluded from recent guidance.
• Commentary on Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin supply, including how quickly Vera Rubin volume is ramping at partners such as CoreWeave, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Nebius.
• Nvidia's own guidance for fiscal Q4 2027, issued alongside the Q3 results, as the next forward-looking data point.

All of the above will be addressed directly by Nvidia on November 17, in its press release, in Colette Kress's written commentary, and on the call itself — each posted to investor.nvidia.com as it happens.
