Where Are NVIDIA's Official Risk Factors?

The risks NVIDIA considers material are disclosed in Item 1A of its Form 10-K, most recently filed February 25, 2026. Read them with three questions in mind: which risks are specific to this company rather than generic, which have changed since the prior year's filing, and which connect to the figures above (a refinancing risk matters more when interest coverage is thin).

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NVIDIA highly leveraged?

At the end of fiscal 2026, NVIDIA's total liabilities were 24% of total assets, against a peer median of 35%. Leverage that is normal for one industry (banks, utilities) can be high for another.

Where are NVIDIA's official risk factors?

In Item 1A, Risk Factors, of its annual report on Form 10-K, most recently filed with the SEC on February 25, 2026. The company lists the risks it considers material there; the measures on this page only quantify the financial side.

Can NVIDIA pay its interest?

NVIDIA did not report interest expense under the standard tags for fiscal 2026, so interest coverage is not computed here; its income statement and debt footnote show the details.
