Nvidia (NVDA) reports its third quarter of fiscal 2027 on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, after the market closes, with a conference call at 5 p.m. Eastern. The company has guided for revenue of about $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, and a gross margin of about 74%. It will be the first report since CEO Jensen Huang resigned on November 12, with CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO, which makes it one of the most watched reports of the year.

What traders are watching
- The beat size. Nvidia has usually topped its own guidance. A result near $108 billion would be “in line,” and the stock reaction often depends on how far above it lands.
- The Q4 outlook. The forecast for the next quarter tends to move the stock more than the quarter just finished.
- Data center demand. Spending plans from the big cloud companies and AI labs drive most of Nvidia’s sales. Any sign of a slowdown matters.
- Gross margin. A margin holding near 74% shows Nvidia still has pricing power as new chips ramp.
- China. Nvidia’s outlook has excluded data center compute sales to China, so any change there would be a surprise either way.
- Leadership change. On November 12 the board said Jensen Huang resigned as CEO, president and director, and named CFO Colette Kress interim CEO. This will be the first report without Huang, so any word on a permanent CEO or on customer relationships matters. See how the stock reacted.
How Nvidia stock usually reacts
Because the report lands after the close, the first move happens in after-hours trading, with thin volume and wide spreads. Moves of 5% or more in either direction are common. Options prices usually build in a large “expected move” ahead of the report, which then shrinks quickly once results are out, an effect traders call the volatility crush.
Why it matters beyond Nvidia
Nvidia is one of the largest companies in the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100, so its report can move the whole market. Chip stocks such as AMD, Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor, and AI infrastructure names such as CoreWeave, often trade in sympathy the next morning.
