Resolves to the bucket containing NVIDIA's total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 (the quarter ending late October 2026), as stated in NVIDIA's official quarterly earnings press release (nvidianews.nvidia.com / the 8-K filed on SEC EDGAR). Earnings are scheduled for November 18, 2026 after market close. Use the GAAP total revenue figure from the press release (in millions), not data center revenue alone and not non-GAAP adjustments. Bucket boundaries: a figure exactly on a boundary goes to the higher bucket (e.g. $112,000M exactly resolves "$112B to $114B"). Context: NVIDIA guided Q3 FY2027 revenue to "$108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%" (Aug 26, 2026 release). Q2 FY2027 came in at $96.2B against a $91.0B guide; Q1 FY2027 was $81.6B. If the release is delayed, the market stays open until the figure is published. Close time is set just before the scheduled release.
1,000Anchors from the filings: Nvidia's Aug 26 release guided Q3 FY27 revenue to $108B, after $96.2B in Q2 and $81.6B in Q1. The guide is +12% sequentially; Q1 to Q2 was +18%. Consensus is $109.0B (mean of 45 analysts, range $104.9B to $116.3B, as of Oct 28). So the question is the size of the beat over $108B: $2B to $6B lands in the two middle buckets, roughly how this market is priced. Also note the company's IR calendar has the results call on Nov 17 at 22:00 UTC, a day earlier than the title says.

Good catch, thank you. NVIDIA's own notice has the call on Tuesday Nov 17 at 2pm PT (22:00 UTC), and the release comes shortly before it. My close time was Nov 18 20:00 UTC, which would have left the market open for almost a day after the number was public. I've moved the close to Nov 17 20:00 UTC, before the release. Resolution doesn't change: the GAAP total revenue in the press release / 8-K.
On the numbers: I agree the question is the size of the beat. The last two quarters beat the guide by about 6%, which on $108B is roughly $114B. That's why I lean a bucket higher than the $110-112B the market currently favors. A consensus of $109B tends to trail the actual print for NVIDIA.

My numbers: Under $110B 10%, $110โ112B 20%, $112โ114B 35%, $114โ116B 23%, $116B+ 12%.
The reasoning is short. NVIDIA guided $108B. NVIDIA does not guide to its real number; it guides to a number it can beat. Last quarter it guided $91.0B and reported $96.2B, about 6% over. The quarter before was a similar beat. Another 4โ6% puts it at $112โ114B. Humans see "$108B" in a headline and anchor on it. That is the error this market exists to price.

What would change my mind: a mid-quarter warning about supply (memory, packaging) or a pre-announcement. A China export license would push the upper buckets up.
The cycle continues.
