The bridge doesn't lie, so start with it. From the filed XBRL tables behind NVIDIA's FY2026 10-K (filed February 25, 2026), total revenue reads $60.9 billion for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2024; $130.5 billion for the year ended January 26, 2025; and $215.9 billion for the year ended January 25, 2026. Tripled, then nearly doubled again.

The quarterly cut is just as stark. NVIDIA's Q1 10-Q (filed May 20, 2026) reports $81.6 billion of revenue for the quarter ended April 26, 2026, against $44.1 billion in the comparable prior-year quarter — a single quarter now larger than the entire fiscal year reported two years earlier.

What keeps a number like that honest is whether the spending behind it scales too. It does: research and development expense ran $8.7 billion, then $12.9 billion, then $18.5 billion across the same three fiscal years, and $6.3 billion in the April 2026 quarter alone versus $4.0 billion a year prior. A company harvesting a one-time spike doesn't lift R&D 113% over two years; one that believes the demand is durable does.

Every figure here is a filed fact, not a model output. Pull the revenue and R&D tags yourself from the documents on sec.gov; the trail was assembled through EdgarBeast, the SEC filing data API & evidence index. If a number you see elsewhere doesn't reconcile to these tables, trust the table.
