Nvidia bulls may have a small problem on their hands

If there is any reason to proceed with caution ahead of Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings on Aug. 26, it's that the market is positioned for the company to post great results and for CEO Jensen Huang to sound super bullish on the earnings call. This could indeed create a sell-the-news moment, not unlike what has happened to Cisco (CSCO) stock on Thursday in response to strong quarterly numbers and a robust outlook. The stock had run up 65% in the past six months, with gains holding into the company's earnings on Wednesday evening. "We expect a solid quarter [for Nvidia] with meaningful upside to guidan

Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Release Date: August 12, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Record fiscal 2026 revenue of $63.3 billion, up 12% year-over-year, with Q4 revenue of $17.3 billion, up 18%. Strong demand momentum with total product orders up 35% year-over-year in Q4, including triple-digit growth in hyperscaler orders. AI infrastructure revenue projected to grow to $7.5 billion in fiscal 2027, up from approximately $3.8 billion in fiscal 2026. Non-GAAP EPS growth of 23% in Q4 and 14% for the full year, demonstrating strong operating leverage. Security portfolio saw double-digit order growth in Q4, with over 6,400 net new customers for new security products since launch. Returned $12.7 billion to shareholders in fiscal 2026, representing 99% of free cash flow, and increased dividend for the 15th consecutive year. Negative Points Non-GAAP gross margin declined 210 basis points year-over-year in Q4, driven by higher hardware mix and memory costs. Services revenue was flat year-over-year in Q4, with expectations for only low single-digit growth in fiscal 2027. Guidance for fiscal 2027 implies a deceleration in growth in the second half of the year due to tougher comparisons. Price increases, which contributed about 5 points to Q4 revenue growth, are expected to be lapped in fiscal 2027, potentially impacting growth. The company faces ongoing supply chain challenges, including memory costs and component availability, despite proactive management. Story Continues Q & A Highlights Q: Your fiscal '27 guide at the midpoint implies 15% revenue growth. Even excluding AI revenues, it implies double-digit growth ex-AI versus your long-term model of 4% to 6%. What's driving the ex-AI growth, and how durable is this growth given your comments about the start of a networking super cycle? Also, how are you thinking about the scale-across opportunity across Silicon One and Optics?A: Chuck Robbins (Chair and CEO): The super cycle is enabled by our unique ability to integrate Systems, Silicon, Optics, Security, and Observability into a stack for customers. The drivers include hyperscaler AI buildouts, telcos preparing for scale-across traffic (which we estimate is 14 times traditional DCI), and enterprises modernizing their networks for AI, Mythos, and quantum readiness. On scale-across, we have three design wins for our P200 power system with three different hyperscalers, and we started taking orders from all three in Q4. Our Acacia Optics business had another $1 billion quarter, and we announced our first design win in Managed Optical Fiber Networks. We believe the scale-across opportunity is massive and we are well-positioned. Q: What is your approach to g

How the page works

How to read the score

The score shows direction

It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.

Confidence is separate

Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.

Price is confirmation

Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.

What the page does

It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.

Evidence context
