NVIDIA said on May 20 that first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue reached $81.6 billion, up 85% from a year earlier, and that Data Center revenue rose to $75.2 billion, up 92%. The figures came in the company’s quarterly results for the period ended April 26, 2026. The release also said revenue increased 20% from the prior quarter. NVIDIA tied the quarter to continued demand for AI infrastructure, with investors and traders focusing on the pace of Blackwell deployments. ### Why is the $75.2 billion number the one everyone is watching? The $75.2 billion figure matters because it shows Data Center accounted for the vast majority of NVIDIA’s quarterly revenue. Against total revenue of $81.6 billion, the segment remained the company’s main growth engine in the quarter ended April 26. NVIDIA described the result as record Data Center revenue. (investor.nvidia.com) NVIDIA’s prior quarter provides the baseline for the jump. In fourth-quarter fiscal 2026, the company reported quarterly revenue of $68.1 billion and Data Center revenue of $62.3 billion. That means the latest quarter extended the company’s growth from already elevated levels. (investor.nvidia.com) ### Where does Blackwell fit into these results? Blackwell has been central to NVIDIA’s recent data-center product cycle. In August 2025, the company said Blackwell Data Center revenue grew 17% sequentially in its second-quarter fiscal 2026 results, showing the platform was already contributing before the latest quarter. (investor.nvidia.com) NVIDIA has also been building its rack-scale roadmap around NVL systems. In October 2024, the company said it contributed foundational elements of its GB200 NVL72 platform design to the Open Compute Project, describing the system as part of its Blackwell accelerated computing platform. That provides the product context behind investor attention on GB200 NVL72 installations. (investor.nvidia.com) ### Did NVIDIA itself say hyperscalers are installing 1,000 GB200 NVL72 racks a week? Social-media posts on May 20 and May 21 circulated the claim that hyperscalers are installing about 1,000 GB200 NVL72 racks weekly. I could verify NVIDIA’s quarterly revenue figures and Blackwell product references from the company’s own investor materials, but I could not independently confirm that weekly installation figure from the official NVIDIA sources surfaced here. (investor.nvidia.com) The number should therefore be treated as an unverified market claim unless confirmed in a transcript, presentation or filing. The company’s investor site shows a webcast and materials for the May 20 earnings event, but the search results available here did not surface an official transcript passage containing that specific weekly deployment number. ### What else did NVIDIA announce alongside the revenue numbers? (investor.nvidia.com) NVIDIA said on May 20 that it authorized an additional $80.0 billion in share repurchases and raised its quarterly cash dividend from $0.01 per share to $0.25 per share. Those announcements were included in the same first-quarter fiscal 2027 results release. (investor.nvidia.com) The company’s investor materials also show the quarter ended April 26, 2026, placing the results in NVIDIA’s fiscal 2027 reporting calendar. ### What is the next date on NVIDIA’s calendar? NVIDIA’s investor relations calendar lists the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders for June 24, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. (investor.nvidia.com) That is the next dated corporate milestone shown in the company’s official materials after the May 20 earnings release. (investor.nvidia.com)
