  • Nvidia Q1 Earnings Beat Expectations, Shares Dip
    May 20, 2026, 4:32 PM EDT. Nvidia reported Q1 earnings, posting revenue of $81.62 billion, surpassing the $79.19 billion forecast. Adjusted EPS reached $1.87, beating estimates around $1.77-$1.78. Data Center revenue hit $75.2 billion, exceeding predictions. The company provided strong Q2 guidance with revenue expected at $91 billion ±2%, above $87.36 billion estimates, signaling robust AI infrastructure demand despite market concerns. Nvidia's networking segment, critical for AI cluster interconnects, is rapidly expanding, driven by products like NVLink and InfiniBand. This marks a strategic expansion beyond GPUs, including partnerships with Amazon Web Services. However, rising political resistance to data center growth due to environmental and local impact remains a risk. Nvidia shares initially fell 3% post-report.
