Nvidia reported strong results on February 25, 2026, in California. The company makes chips for artificial intelligence. Revenue for the November to January period increased 73 percent to 68.1 billion dollars. Net profit almost doubled to 43 billion dollars. The company said demand for AI chips remains very high. Leaders believe the technology industry is still growing quickly.
The company also gave a positive forecast for the next quarter. Revenue may rise 77 percent from last year. This strong growth has pushed the company’s value much higher in the stock market. Some investors are still careful because the company has grown very fast in the past three years. Large technology firms plan to spend more money on AI systems this year, and many of those systems use Nvidia chips.
