Risk factors

Item 1A. Risk Factors

What to look forWhat management is required to admit could go wrong. Written by lawyers, but the ordering and any newly added risk are informative.

Other than the risk factors listed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2026 and Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 26, 2026.

Purchasing or owning NVIDIA securities involves investment risks including, but not limited to, the risks described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2026, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 26, 2026, and below. Any one of those risks could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations or reputation, which could cause our stock price to decline. Additional risks, trends and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.

Commitments, guarantees, and other commercial arrangements expose us to financial, counterparty and execution risks and may not provide anticipated benefits.

To support our operations and growth, we commit capital to secure supply and capacity, obtain cloud services, and lease data center capacity. These arrangements require substantial payments over many years. If future demand, our needs or plans differ from our expectations, we may be unable to reduce these commitments. Future demand may be affected by the ability of customers and partners, including those developing open models, to generate revenue and sustain investment in computing infrastructure.

To support our customers' and partners' buildout of AI infrastructure, we enter into commercial arrangements, including financial guarantees and other forms of credit support, financing arrangements, and data center leases.

Customers or partners may fail to fulfill their financial commitments, secure necessary capital or infrastructure, complete projects on schedule or within budget, or experience financial distress or insolvency. Power constraints, government actions or regulations, permitting delays, or community opposition may delay, restrict or prevent the development or operation of data centers. We may have limited control over these matters.

Financing arrangements with certain investment-grade customers, including extended payment terms under large, multi-quarter agreements, will continue to affect the timing of our operating cash flows. We intend to assign certain data center leases to third parties. Delays in completing these assignments could cause us to bear the related lease costs longer than anticipated.
