Nvidia Says “Blackwell Sales Are Off the Charts”
Image Source: TradingView. In the first nine months of fiscal 2026, Nvidia returned $27 billion to shareholders in the form of share buybacks and cash dividends. At the end of the third quarter, Nvidia had $62.2 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization. Looking to the fiscal fourth quarter, management is targeting revenue to be $65 billion, plus or minus 2% (versus $62 billion consensus), with non-GAAP gross margin of 75%, plus or minus 50 basis points. We think Nvidia is still in the early innings of an AI build cycle, and the firm remains a core idea in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.
