Company Overview

NVIDIA Corporation is a global leader in accelerated computing, operating as a full-stack computing infrastructure company. Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, NVIDIA was founded in January 1993 by Jen-Hsun Huang, Curtis Priem, and Chris Malachowsky. As of September 2025, NVIDIA boasts a market capitalization of $4.337 trillion USD, positioning it as the world's most valuable company.

Operating on a fabless principle without its own manufacturing facilities, NVIDIA serves diverse markets including gaming, professional visualization, data center, and automotive. Its business is structured around two primary segments: Compute & Networking and Graphics.

Business Segments

Data Center and AI Computing

The Compute & Networking segment is NVIDIA's primary revenue driver. It encompasses Data Centre accelerated computing platforms, artificial intelligence solutions and software, networking technologies, automotive platforms, autonomous and electric vehicle solutions, Jetson for robotics and embedded systems, and DGX Cloud computing services.

For Q2 Fiscal 2026, this segment generated $41.1 billion in revenue, representing 87.9% of the company's total revenue. This marked a 5% increase from the previous quarter and a substantial 56% rise year-over-year. The quarter also saw continued ramp-up of products based on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, including GB200, B100, and B200, alongside the initial deployment of their mid-generation upgrade, the Blackwell Ultra GPU. Data center revenue from Blackwell products specifically grew by 17% sequentially.

Gaming

The Graphics segment includes GeForce GPUs for gaming and PCs, the GeForce NOW game streaming service, solutions for gaming platforms, and Quadro/NVIDIA RTX GPUs for enterprise workstation graphics. It also offers virtual GPU (vGPU) software for cloud-based visual computing, automotive infotainment systems, and Omniverse software for industrial AI and digital twin applications.

In Q2 Fiscal 2026, NVIDIA sold $4.3 billion worth of gaming GPUs, a 49% increase year-over-year and a 14% rise from the prior quarter. This strong performance was attributed to high demand and improved supply of Blackwell-based gaming GPUs. The first quarter of Fiscal 2026 saw a record $3.8 billion in Gaming revenue, up 48% QoQ and 42% YoY.

Professional Visualization and Automotive

NVIDIA's Professional Visualization (ProViz) business generated $601 million in revenue in Q2 FY2026, a 32% year-over-year increase and an 18% quarter-over-quarter rise.

The Automotive segment achieved a record $586 million in revenue in Q2 FY2026. Sales saw a significant 69% increase compared to Q2 FY2025 and a 3% rise from the previous quarter.
