## What Are NVIDIA's Key Financial Figures?

| Fiscal year | FY2026ended January 25, 2026 | FY2025ended January 26, 2025 | FY2024ended January 28, 2024 | FY2023ended January 29, 2023 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Revenue | $216 billion | $130 billion | $60.9 billion | $27.0 billion |
| Operating income | $130 billion | $81.5 billion | $33.0 billion | $4.2 billion |
| Operating margin | 60.4% | 62.4% | 54.1% | 15.7% |
| Net income | $120 billion | $72.9 billion | $29.8 billion | $4.4 billion |
| Net margin | 55.6% | 55.8% | 48.8% | 16.2% |
| Operating cash flow | $103 billion | $64.1 billion | $28.1 billion | $5.6 billion |
| Capital expenditures | $6.0 billion | $3.2 billion | $1.1 billion | $1.8 billion |
| Free cash flow | $96.7 billion | $60.9 billion | $27.0 billion | $3.8 billion |

Operating margin narrowed by 2.0 percentage points between fiscal 2025 and 2026, which separates pricing and cost discipline from revenue growth alone. Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures) was $96.7 billion against net income of $120 billion; cash generation fell short of reported earnings, which is worth reconciling in the cash flow statement.

## What Does NVIDIA's Balance Sheet Show?

| Cash and cash equivalents | $10.6 billion |
| --- | --- |
| Long-term debt | $7.5 billion |
| Total assets | $207 billion |
| Total liabilities | $49.5 billion |
| Shareholders' equity | $157 billion |
| Current ratio | 3.9x |

Balance sheet values are as of the end of fiscal 2026. Income statement figures describe a whole year; balance sheet figures describe a single day, so the two answer different questions.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value NVIDIA reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001045810-26-000021 for fiscal year 2026). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
