Nvidia was the main driver of U.S. markets on Feb. 26, 2026, after the chipmaker reported quarterly revenue and profit above expectations for the three months ended Jan. 31 and issued a quarterly revenue forecast that also exceeded analysts' estimates. The results and outlook pushed investors to reprice demand for Nvidia's advanced chips.  

The company said it continues to benefit from heavy demand for its high-performance processors used in AI infrastructure, which underpinned both the better-than-expected earnings and the optimistic guidance for the current quarter.  

The upbeat report reinforced Nvidia's central role in the semiconductor rally as markets digest the ongoing strength in AI-related hardware spending. #NVDA #AI #Semiconductors #FiatNews
