What the retained evidence changed—and what it did not
NVIDIA’s Data Center revenue continues to grow between comparable quarterly reports.
StrengthenedThe Q2 FY27 release reports $89.0 billion of Data Center revenue, up 18% from the previous quarter. This is an observed quarterly result supporting the growth expectation; it does not establish future demand.
NVIDIA’s company-wide GAAP operating income grows alongside that revenue growth.
StrengthenedCompany-wide GAAP operating income rose from $53.536 billion to $63.734 billion, a reported 19% quarterly increase. It grew in the same quarter as Data Center revenue; the source does not disclose Data Center operating profit.
Appended evidence impact
Both measures increased from the previous quarter.
