  • Nvidia Reports Q1 Earnings on May 20 Amid Rising Competition Concerns
    April 24, 2026, 12:03 PM EDT. Nvidia is set to release its fiscal first-quarter earnings on May 20, following a strong fiscal Q4 with revenue up 73% year over year to $68.1 billion and data center revenue rising 75%. The company projects further growth with Q1 revenue guidance around $78 billion. Despite impressive gross margins at 75%, rising competition from firms such as Broadcom, with AI semiconductor revenue up 106% year over year, and Amazon, whose chip business growth outpaces Nvidia's, is creating investor caution. Broadcom's chips target specialized AI tasks, while Amazon's growing chip business poses an accelerating challenge. These factors temper enthusiasm to buy Nvidia shares before the report, even with a forward price-to-earnings ratio near 25.
