Nvidia sets May 20 date to report fiscal Q1 results

Nvidia has fixed the timing for one of the market’s most closely watched earnings releases. The company said it will report first-quarter results for fiscal 2027 on Wednesday, May 20, and hold a conference call at 2 p.m. Pacific time, or 5 p.m. Eastern. Nvidia said the quarter ended April 26, 2026. The webcast will run through the company’s investor relations site, where Nvidia said it will also post written commentary from Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress shortly after the results are released. (investor.nvidia.com 1) (investor.nvidia.com 2) The May 20 report matters because Nvidia’s own outlook set a high bar. In its fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 results, Nvidia said it expected first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $78.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. The company also said it would begin including stock-based compensation expense in non-GAAP financial measures starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, a change that could affect how investors compare adjusted results with prior periods. (investor.nvidia.com) ### When exactly will Nvidia release the numbers? April 29 is when Nvidia formally set the schedule. The company said first-quarter fiscal 2027 results will be made public at about 1:20 p.m. Pacific time on May 20, followed by the conference call 40 minutes later. Nvidia said the webcast will be available in listen-only mode on investor.nvidia.com. (investor.nvidia.com) The company also said the Q&A portion will be limited to financial analysts and institutional investors. A replay will remain available until Nvidia’s next quarterly earnings call, according to the investor relations posting. ### What has Nvidia already told investors to expect? (investor.nvidia.com) February 2026 is when Nvidia last gave formal guidance for the quarter now about to be reported. In that outlook, the company said first-quarter revenue was expected to be $78.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. Nvidia issued that forecast alongside fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $68.1 billion and full-year revenue of $215.9 billion. (investor.nvidia.com) That guidance followed another quarter of rapid growth. Nvidia said fourth-quarter revenue rose 20% from the prior quarter and 73% from a year earlier, while data center revenue reached $62.3 billion in the same period. Those figures help frame what investors will measure against when the company reports on May 20. (investor.nvidia.com) ### Why are comparisons this quarter more complicated than usual? Nvidia said a reporting change begins with first-quarter fiscal 2027. The company told investors it will include stock-based compensation expense in non-GAAP financial measures starting this quarter, calling that expense “a foundational component” of its compensation program in the fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 release. (investor.nvidia.com) That means side-by-side comparisons with older adjusted figures may require extra care. Nvidia’s investor materials for prior periods were prepared under the earlier presentation, and the company has directed investors to its quarterly results archive for historical materials, including press releases, transcripts and CFO commentary. (investor.nvidia.com) ### What will investors be listening for on the call? Colette Kress is expected to provide the first written commentary before the call begins. Nvidia said that material will be posted immediately after results are publicly announced, and then executives will take questions from analysts and institutional investors. (investor.nvidia.com) The company’s event page lists the session as “NVIDIA 1st Quarter FY27 Financial Results.” That page says the webcast starts May 20, 2026, at 2 p.m. Pacific time and includes calendar and reminder links for investors following the release. ### Where can readers follow the next step? (investor.nvidia.com) May 20 at about 1:20 p.m. Pacific time is when Nvidia said it will publish the results and Kress’s written commentary. The live webcast is scheduled for 2 p.m. Pacific time on Nvidia’s investor relations site, and the company’s annual shareholder meeting is set for June 24, 2026, according to its investor calendar.
