Model as of

This page changes Edge Computing inside the complete NVDA model. Every other vertical, corporate programme and valuation assumption stays in the selected portfolio case.

Final-quarter revenue $5.85B 7% of company revenue
Explicit segment contribution $25.81B EBITDA less segment capex, before corporate items

Hyperscaler capex digests, custom ASICs take the inference workload, and merchant Ethernet claws back the fabric. Volume still grows — the ceiling is never the binding problem in this case, demand is — but price and margin both give way.

Everything that is not a data centre: GeForce and consoles, RTX workstations, DRIVE and Jetson, AI-RAN. NVIDIA renamed and merged these four platforms into one line this quarter, which is a fair description of how much it matters to the P&L.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • This is the one line carried on a plain growth rate, because there is no operating driver worth modelling: NVIDIA has just stopped reporting the four platforms separately, so the units underneath are no longer visible even in principle.
  • The historical points are exact, not apportioned. Total revenue less Data Center gives the same number as adding up Gaming, Professional Visualization, Automotive and OEM & Other for every quarter shown — 2026 Q4 is 3,727 + 1,321 + 604 + 161 = 5,813, which is 68,127 less 62,314.
  • 4% a quarter decaying to 1.5% is a deliberately dull assumption for a line NVIDIA has spent a year describing as the home of physical AI and robotics. Those are real and they are small: Edge Computing is 7.5% of the company and falling as a share even while it grows. Betting on it here would move the fair value by less than the rounding on Data Center.
  • It also holds a real risk that is easy to miss — the CFO commentary blames slower consumer PC demand on elevated memory prices. Micron's supercycle is NVIDIA's cost line, at both ends of the building.
