Nvidia’s guidance points toward outstanding earnings growth for the next three years
When Nvidia released its fiscal 2027 second-quarter results (for the three months ended July 26) on Aug. 26, it reported a year-over-year increase of 120% in non-GAAP earnings per share to $2.22. The strong bottom-line growth was driven by a 106% year-over-year jump in revenue, along with an improvement of 2.5 percentage points in Nvidia’s non-GAAP gross margin.

Importantly, Nvidia management is confident of sustaining healthy gross margin levels despite higher component costs. For instance, the company estimates a non-GAAP gross margin of 74% in the current quarter, followed by a dip to 71% to 72% in fiscal Q4. The chip designer estimates that its gross margin will settle in the 72%-73% range next year, driven by price increases to offset higher component costs.
Nvidia’s ability to sustain its margin profile, along with incremental spending on AI data center infrastructure, should ensure that its earnings per share continue to improve at a nice clip. After all, Nvidia sees capital spending by the top five U.S. hyperscalers increasing to $1.3 trillion in 2027, up from an estimated $800 billion in 2026.
Moreover, this estimate doesn’t include the capital expenses incurred by neocloud providers and pure-play AI companies. Not surprisingly, market research provider Dell’Oro Group estimates that overall data center capex could exceed $3 trillion by 2030 to support the growing demand for AI workloads in the cloud.
So, data center capex could increase at a compound annual rate of 39% between 2026 and 2030. Another key point worth noting is that semiconductors reportedly account for 54% of the money spent on data centers, according to the Center for Strategic & International Studies. Nvidia controls an estimated 80% of the AI chip market. Also, it is expanding its presence in this space by entering lucrative areas such as server central processing units (CPUs).
So, it is easy to see why analysts have become more bullish on its revenue growth prospects for the next three fiscal years.

Importantly, Nvidia’s healthy market share also gives it solid pricing power, putting the company in a strong position to pass higher component costs on to customers. That probably explains why management noted on the latest earnings call that it will implement price increases starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2028.
In all, a combination of robust revenue growth and stable margins should eventually allow Nvidia to deliver strong earnings growth over the long run.
Nvidia stock still has multibagger potential
Nvidia’s earnings per share in fiscal 2027 (which ends in January 2027) could increase by 95% to $9.29. Importantly, the earnings per share estimates for the next couple of years have jumped significantly.

Analysts now expect Nvidia’s earnings to increase by 65% in fiscal 2028, followed by a 32% increase in fiscal 2029 (which will end in January 2029). Of course, Nvidia’s growth could exceed expectations, especially considering that it anticipates a 70% increase in revenue in fiscal 2028. But even if Nvidia’s earnings per share reach $20.45 in fiscal 2029 and it trades at 34 times earnings at that time (in line with the tech-focused Nasdaq-100 index’s average earnings multiple), its stock price could jump to $695.
That’s just over 3x Nvidia’s current stock price. So, a $1,000 investment in Nvidia stock could be worth more than $3,000 by 2029, which is why investors can consider buying it hand over fist following its latest quarterly report.
