NVIDIA Earnings Date (17 Nov 2026): Pakistan Time and What to Watch

When is the NVIDIA earnings date?

The NVIDIA earnings date for this quarter is Tuesday 17 November 2026. NVIDIA will publish its results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2027 at about 1:20 p.m. Pacific time, then hold its earnings call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific (5:00 p.m. Eastern). In Pakistan that is 2:20 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. on Wednesday 18 November.

NVIDIA set the date in a notice on 28 October 2026, and repeated it on 12 November in the release announcing Jensen Huang's resignation, which says the report goes ahead "as previously scheduled". The quarter being reported ended on 25 October 2026. All facts here were checked as of 15 November 2026; we will update this page after the results.

What is the NVIDIA earnings report time in Pakistan?

The results come out at about 2:20 a.m. Pakistan time (PKT) on Wednesday 18 November, and the earnings call starts at 3:00 a.m. PKT. That is the night of Tuesday into Wednesday, so set your alarm for Wednesday morning, not Tuesday.

Why such an odd hour? US clocks went back one hour when daylight saving time ended on Sunday 1 November 2026. New York is now on Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) and California on Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8). Pakistan stays on UTC+5 all year, so it is 10 hours ahead of New York and 13 hours ahead of California until March.

The release time is approximate: NVIDIA says "approximately 1:20 p.m. PT". US markets close at 4:00 p.m. Eastern, so the numbers arrive after the close and the first price reaction happens in after-hours trading (share trading that continues on electronic networks after the main session ends).

How do I watch or listen to the NVIDIA earnings call?

The NVIDIA earnings call is a free, listen-only webcast on NVIDIA's investor website. You do not need a brokerage account. Only financial analysts and institutional investors can ask questions; everyone else just listens.

1. Open the events page. Type investor.nvidia.com into your browser, then go to Events & Presentations. Look for "NVIDIA 3rd Quarter FY27 Financial Results", listed for 17 November 2026 at 5:00 PM EST. Done looks like: you can see a "Listen to Webcast" link under that title. Common mistake: clicking a "live stream" link on social media that leads to a look-alike site.

   

2. Read the press release first (from about 2:20 a.m. PKT). It appears under News on investor.nvidia.com and on nvidianews.nvidia.com. Read the first lines (revenue and data-centre revenue), the summary table and the "Outlook" section. Common mistake: reacting to a one-line headline before reading the outlook, which often moves the share price more than the quarter itself.
3. Read the CFO commentary. NVIDIA says Colette Kress's written commentary is posted "immediately after" the results. It breaks revenue down by market and explains margins and costs. Done looks like: you know the data-centre figure and the gross margin before the call starts.
4. Join the webcast at 3:00 a.m. PKT. Click "Listen to Webcast". Prepared remarks come first, then analysts' questions. Use headphones and keep the press release open. It is free; any site asking you to pay to "join the NVIDIA call" is not NVIDIA.
5. Check the official filing on SEC EDGAR. NVIDIA files its results with the US Securities and Exchange Commission as a Form 8-K (a "current report") with Items 2.02 (results) and 9.01 (exhibits); the August results followed this pattern. On EDGAR's NVIDIA page, filter by 8-K and look for a new line dated 2026-11-17. The press release is Exhibit 99.1 and the CFO commentary is Exhibit 99.2.
6. Use the replay if you miss it. NVIDIA says the recording stays available until the fourth-quarter and fiscal 2027 results call.

What are NVIDIA's earnings expectations for this quarter?

NVIDIA itself forecast revenue of $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, which means roughly $105.8 billion to $110.2 billion. Analysts polled by LSEG expect about $108.9 billion, a 91% rise from a year earlier, CNBC reported on 13 November.

NVIDIA's forecast, called guidance or outlook, came with its second-quarter results on 26 August 2026:

• Revenue of $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. "NVIDIA is not assuming any Data Center compute revenue from China in its outlook."
• GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins of 74.0%, plus or minus 50 basis points (0.5 percentage points).
• Operating expenses of about $9.2 billion (GAAP) and $9.0 billion (non-GAAP).

Last quarter NVIDIA beat expectations: revenue of $96.22 billion against $92.17 billion expected, and adjusted earnings per share of $2.22 against $2.10, according to LSEG figures reported by CNBC. Its $108 billion guidance was also above the $104.2 billion analysts expected at the time. Yet CNBC noted that the stock had fallen the day after each of the four reports before August, despite meeting or beating estimates. Good numbers do not guarantee a rising share price, because prices already include what investors expect.

What should you look for in the NVIDIA results?

Look past the headline revenue to six things: data-centre revenue, gross margin, the Vera Rubin ramp, China, supply, and the forecast for next quarter. This time, also listen to how the new interim CEO handles leadership questions. This section stays useful after the report: use it as a checklist against the actual release.

• Data-centre revenue and its mix. This is NVIDIA's AI business: $89.0 billion of the $96.2 billion last quarter. NVIDIA now splits it into "Hyperscale" (the giant cloud companies, $48.7 billion) and "AI Clouds, Industrial & Enterprise" ($40.3 billion), according to its CFO commentary. Watch which part grows faster.
• Gross margin against 74%. Gross margin is the share of revenue left after the direct cost of making the products. A figure well below the 74% guide can mean new products or memory costs are biting.
• The Vera Rubin ramp. In August NVIDIA said its next AI platform, Vera Rubin, was "ramping into full production" with racks running at partners including CoreWeave, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Nebius. Listen for how much Rubin contributed and how fast it is shipping. Our Rubin vs Blackwell explainer covers the chips.
• China. The forecast assumed no data-centre compute revenue from China. Any change in US export licences or Chinese import approvals would be news.
• Supply and memory. NVIDIA's supply commitments jumped from $119 billion to $279 billion in one quarter, "primarily related to the procurement of memory", the CFO commentary said. Comments on supply limits and memory costs also hint at where PC and GPU prices are heading.
• The next forecast. The outlook for the fourth quarter usually moves the share price most. In August Kress also said NVIDIA expected 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028, CNBC reported; listen for whether that view is repeated.
• First call under the interim CEO. This is the first report since Jensen Huang resigned, with CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO. Expect questions about the CEO search, the board's investigation and whether any customer has paused orders. Our explainer on NVIDIA's new CEO has the dated background.

NVIDIA 2026 revenue: how big has NVIDIA become?

NVIDIA's fiscal year does not match the calendar. Its fiscal 2027 runs from late January 2026 to late January 2027, so "NVIDIA 2026 revenue" in everyday speech mostly means fiscal 2027. So far that year NVIDIA has reported $81.6 billion and then $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue.

Figures come from NVIDIA's Q2 FY27 press release and CFO commentary. As simple arithmetic, not a forecast: if the third quarter lands exactly on guidance, the first three quarters of fiscal 2027 would add up to about $286 billion. Revenue more than doubled year on year in the second quarter (up 106%), almost all of it from the data-centre business.

What do earnings terms mean? A plain-English glossary

Earnings reports use a small set of terms again and again. Here they are in plain English, so the release and the call make sense at 3 a.m.

Why do NVIDIA earnings move the whole chip sector?

Because NVIDIA sits in the middle of the AI supply chain, its results tell investors how much the world is spending on AI hardware. A strong report suggests its suppliers and partners will be busy; a weak one raises doubts about the whole AI spending wave.

• Suppliers. NVIDIA does not make its own chips; it buys manufacturing from foundries such as TSMC and buys high-bandwidth memory from memory makers. In August it announced a multiyear partnership with SK hynix on next-generation memory. Its $279 billion of supply commitments show how much business flows to these firms.
• Customers. The hyperscalers and AI clouds that buy NVIDIA systems are themselves large listed companies. NVIDIA's comments on their demand are read as a signal about their spending plans.
• Rivals. Companies such as AMD and Broadcom sell competing AI chips. Investors compare their growth with NVIDIA's.
• Size. NVIDIA spent most of 2026 as the world's most valuable company, CNBC reported, so its share price alone moves major US indices and the funds that track them. After a slide since early October, its market value fell below $4 trillion on 13 November.

For Pakistani businesses the link is indirect but real: AI hardware demand affects the price of memory, graphics cards and cloud GPU time that local software houses, studios and universities pay for in dollars. Results do not change what you pay this week, but the supply and memory comments are worth noting.

What happens after the results, and how will this page be updated?

We will update this article after NVIDIA publishes its results, with the actual figures checked against the press release, the CFO commentary and the 8-K on SEC EDGAR. The update will add:

• Revenue, data-centre revenue and gross margin against NVIDIA's guidance and the LSEG consensus.
• The fourth-quarter outlook and any change to the China assumption.
• What Kress and the team said about Vera Rubin, supply, the CEO search and the board's investigation.
• The share-price reaction, with the date, time and source of every figure.

Until then, check the "updated" date at the top of this page. If it still says 15 November, the numbers above are the forecasts, not the results.
