About NVIDIA Corp.

NVIDIA makes graphics processing units (GPUs) and related systems and software for artificial intelligence (AI), data centers, games, professional design, and cars. Its data-center systems combine GPUs with other processors, networking equipment, and software to train and run AI programs and other computing workloads. On its latest earnings call, management described AI inference—using a trained model to produce answers—as adding to demand alongside model training.

What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1NVIDIA designs products but relies on outside companies for semiconductor fabrication, memory, packaging, assembly, and testing; its filings describe much of its supply chain as concentrated in Asia.
2Its products depend on software support, including its CUDA development tools and applications built by outside developers and partners.

How it compares with its industry

Three ratings, each a percentile against the 72 companies we cover in Semiconductors. Deliberately kept apart rather than blended into one score — cheap, rising and well-run are three different facts, and a single number would hide which one is which.

Momentum

12 months to a month ago18.6%

6 months to a month ago9.1%

The most recent month is left out on purpose: returns tend to persist over 7–12 months and the newest one tends to reverse. This describes what the price has done, and says nothing about what it will do.

Yields, so higher means cheaper — a loss-making company ranks last instead of dropping out. Cheap is not the same as good: a high yield is often a price that fell for a reason. All five measures available.

A description of where this company sits among its competitors, not a recommendation. Ratings updated Sep 26, 2026.

Gamers, streamers, and creators buy computers containing GeForce graphics products, often through computer makers or retailers.

Automakers and automotive suppliers work with NVIDIA on in-car computing and driver-assistance or autonomous-driving systems.

Many data-center customers need suitable land, power, buildings, and funding before they can install NVIDIA systems; the latest quarterly report says shortages or delays in these resources could postpone deployments.

What could go wrong

1Export controls and other government restrictions have limited sales of certain products to China; the company reported that it was effectively unable to compete in China's data-center computing market at the end of fiscal year 2026.
2A limited number of direct and indirect customers account for a significant amount of revenue, so changes in purchases by major customers or their cloud users could affect sales.
3NVIDIA relies on outside manufacturers and suppliers and makes long-term supply commitments; production delays, limited capacity, or inaccurate demand estimates can leave it short of products or with excess inventory.
