Nvidia earnings jump 85% as revenue hits USD$81.6bn

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – May 21, 2026: Nvidia has done it again, beating on the top and bottom line and guiding the current quarter well above Wall Street estimates, yet the share price barely moved.

Guidance for the July quarter came in at around USD$91 billion, comfortably ahead of the USD$87 billion consensus, while management lifted the quarterly dividend to 25 cents from 1 cent and authorised another USD$80 billion in buybacks.
