What the Filing Says
NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) submitted a Form 8-K current report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2026. The filing discloses results of operations and financial condition under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K for the fiscal quarter ended April 26, 2026 — the first quarter of NVIDIA's fiscal year 2027. The substantive financial disclosures are contained in two attached exhibits: a press release (Exhibit 99.1) and a CFO Commentary (Exhibit 99.2), both dated May 20, 2026.

Filing Structure and Exhibit Contents
The 8-K itself is a cover document that references and incorporates the two primary exhibits by which NVIDIA communicated its quarterly results:
| Exhibit | Description | |---------|-------------| | 99.1 | Press release titled *"NVIDIA Announces Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal 2027"* | | 99.2 | CFO Commentary on First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Results, authored by CFO Colette M. Kress | | 104 | Cover page formatted in inline XBRL |
The CFO Commentary — a supplemental narrative and financial discussion provided directly by the chief financial officer — was made available on NVIDIA's investor relations website (investor.nvidia.com) concurrent with the filing.

Furnished, Not Filed: An Important Accounting Distinction
Both Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 are expressly designated as *furnished* rather than *filed* for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This is a standard and common practice for earnings-related 8-K filings. The practical effect is that the exhibits are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 18, nor to Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Additionally, the filing states that the information contained in the current report shall not be incorporated by reference into any future SEC filings by NVIDIA, notwithstanding any general incorporation language those filings may contain.
Readers reviewing the filing should be aware that the financial figures and management commentary of substance reside in the attached exhibits, not in the 8-K cover document itself.

Reporting Period Context
NVIDIA operates on a fiscal year that does not align with the calendar year. The quarter reported — ending April 26, 2026 — represents the first fiscal quarter of NVIDIA's fiscal year 2027. This timing distinction is relevant when comparing reported periods across companies or against prior NVIDIA disclosures, which would have covered the quarter ended January 2026 (fiscal Q4 2026) most recently.
---
Signatory
The filing was signed by Colette M. Kress, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of NVIDIA Corporation, in her capacity as a duly authorized officer of the registrant.

Limitations of This Analysis
Because the verbatim text of Exhibit 99.1 (the press release) and Exhibit 99.2 (the CFO Commentary) were not provided as part of the filing excerpt reviewed here, no specific revenue figures, segment results, earnings per share, margins, or forward guidance figures are available for discussion in this article. A complete analysis of NVIDIA's first quarter fiscal 2027 financial performance — including any guidance the company itself may have provided — would require review of those exhibits directly as disclosed on the SEC's EDGAR system and NVIDIA's investor relations website.
