Yesterday, Nvidia posted its financial results for the first quarter of its 2027 fiscal year (named as such because it ends on January 31, 2027). As you may suspect, revenue continues to grow, with a gigantic $81.6 billion revenue in Q1 2027, up 85% compared to this time last year. A whopping $75.2 billion of that comes from Data Center revenue, with the rest from ‘Edge Computing’.

It was back in February when Nvidia reported its previous financial results, which included results for the entirety of the last fiscal year. The company reported 47% year on year growth for gaming, thanks to the success of the RTX 50 series, while at the same time admitting “supply constraints” for its GPUs. Either way, the company celebrated a record $215.9 billion in revenue.

Data centers continue to be the biggest money maker for Nvidia, with the $75.2 billion it generated being a record for first-quarter revenue at Nvidia. That represents a 92% uplift compared to last year, and a 21% uplift compared to Q4 Fiscal 2026. Looking forward, the tech giants expect Q2 2027 revenue to hit $91 billion in total (plus or minus 2%), and these forecasts no longer include data center compute revenue from China.

“The buildout of AI factories – the largest infrastructure expansion in human history – is accelerating at extraordinary speed. Agentic AI has arrived, doing productive work, generating real value and scaling rapidly across companies and industries. NVIDIA is uniquely positioned at the center of this transformation as the only platform that runs in every cloud, powers every frontier and open source model, and scales everywhere AI is produced – from hyperscale data centers to the edge.”

The word ‘gaming’ isn’t mentioned once in its official press release, which goes to show just how much of the company’s focus is on the likes of AI, data centers, robotics, and automation. The main gaming-related highlights under the new ‘Edge Computing’ umbrella term include the release of DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and the DLSS 5 announcement.

Late last year, Nvidia made it clear to everyone that it’s no longer just a GPU or gaming brand. It classifies itself as an “AI data center infrastructure company,” and why not? That’s what brings in the big bucks.

Another exciting prospect for investors is a change to Nvidia’s quarterly cash dividend. It has been raised from $0.01 per share to $0.25 per share. Additionally, the company has announced $80 billion in additional share repurchase authorization – in layman’s terms, Nvidia has stretched its budget for buying back its own stock from the open market.
