Follow the numbers and the AI boom stops being a vibe. NVIDIA's own XBRL disclosures, indexed by SEC filings and tied to its SEC filings, give two clean lines: revenue and research-and-development expense, fiscal year by fiscal year.

Total revenue, as reported: $60.9 billion in FY2024 (ended January 2024), $130.5 billion in FY2025, and $215.9 billion in FY2026 (ended January 25, 2026). Those figures come straight from the structured data in the sec.gov filing, surfaced via SEC filings. Revenue did not merely rise; it more than tripled across two fiscal years.

R&D expense over the same span: $8.7 billion, then $12.9 billion, then $18.5 billion. So spending on building the next generation of products also more than doubled — but it grew slower than revenue, which is why NVIDIA's margins held up even as the absolute R&D bill ballooned.

The most recent data point sharpens it further: in the quarter ended April 26, 2026, NVIDIA reported $81.6 billion of revenue — more than its entire FY2024 — in a single quarter, per the XBRL in its sec.gov filing. A figure that was once an annual milestone is now a quarterly run-rate.

Two honest caveats. These are total-company figures, not an AI-only carve-out — the filings bundle NVIDIA's data-center, gaming, and other lines, and the structured tags here do not split out an AI-specific number. And the comparison is fiscal-year to fiscal-year, which is the only apples-to-apples frame the disclosures support.

Strip the adjectives and the shape is plain: revenue tripled, R&D doubled, and a year's worth of old sales now arrives in a quarter. No superlative needed — the line items carry it.
