The throughput picture

Vera Rubin infrastructure reached full production during the quarter, with racks running at CoreWeave (CRWV), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL), and Nebius (NBIS). Demand continues to outpace supply, per the company: that lead-time gap is what a 117% data-center surge looks like when it lands on the income statement. Non-GAAP operating income climbed 124% year-over-year to $63.96 billion. Non-GAAP EPS of $2.22 cleared the $2.09 consensus estimate.

The Aug. 27 session saw shares pop almost 9% on the print. Over the trailing 52 weeks, NVDA is up 25% and 17% year-to-date. The stock sits roughly 7% off its 52-week high of $236.54, set May 14. On a forward-adjusted basis, the P/E is 23.9 times, slightly above an industry average near 23 times.

The setup

Q3 guidance calls for $108 billion in revenue (plus or minus 2%) and a 74% gross margin (plus or minus 50 basis points). Analysts expect non-GAAP EPS of $2.47 in Q3, a 99% year-over-year gain. The full fiscal 2027 consensus puts EPS at $9.10, also up 99% year-over-year, with $15.12 projected for fiscal 2028, implying 66% growth.

Separately, Nvidia is reportedly set to acquire Hugging Face, the open-source AI platform, for $12.9 billion, fitting with CEO Jensen Huang's stated strategy of building the AI world on the American stack. Post-earnings, Bernstein SocGen raised its price target from $315 to $400 with an "Outperform" rating. JPMorgan moved from $280 to $320 with "Overweight." UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri lifted his target from $280 to $300, citing results and guidance. Of 49 analysts covering NVDA, 44 carry a "Strong Buy," with the consensus average target of $324.44 implying 47% potential upside from current levels.
