Nvidia’s fiscal second-quarter results, released August 26, delivered the dominant catalyst for August 2026 price action. Revenue reached $96.22 billion (106% YoY) and adjusted EPS $2.22, both well above consensus, while data-center sales hit $89 billion. Management guided third-quarter revenue to $108 billion and projected 70% full-year growth for fiscal 2028 despite ongoing supply constraints, easing concerns over AI spending fatigue. The shares responded with an 8–10% rally on August 27, pushing the price near $230 and market capitalization above $5.5 trillion within the month’s 52-week range of roughly $164–$236. Traders are now focused on whether momentum can extend through month-end or encounter resistance near recent highs amid continued supply tightness and macro rate expectations.
