NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) Fundamental Checkup

NVIDIA Corporation fundamental checkup using revenue growth, EPS growth, free cash flow, margins, ROIC, debt-to-equity, and TGMCharts chart exhibits as of September 14, 2026.

By TGMCharts Research · Data as of · Updated

Share

NVIDIA Corporation gets a balanced fundamental read when revenue growth of 69.34%, EPS growth of 94.31%, free-cash-flow growth of 82.12%, net margin of 63.66%, and ROIC of 59.61% support the same story.

The checkup weighs operating growth, shareholder conversion, cash conversion, reinvestment quality, and balance-sheet flexibility. Current ratio is 4.59x and debt-to-equity is 0.17x, so the balance-sheet read is part of the final view rather than a footnote.

  • NVIDIA Corporation has market cap of $5.11T and closed at $211 on September 14, 2026.
  • Five-year revenue CAGR is 69.34% and five-year EPS CAGR is 94.31%.

The Read

NVIDIA Corporation should be read through one research question: do growth, cash conversion, profitability quality, balance-sheet flexibility, and valuation point to the same fundamental story? The latest close is $211 as of September 14, 2026, but the checkup starts with business evidence before returning to the market price.

The answer starts with five-year revenue CAGR of 69.34% and five-year EPS CAGR of 94.31%, then tests that growth against five-year free-cash-flow CAGR of 82.12%. A serious fundamental note should not let one growth line carry the whole argument.

Business Quality Snapshot

NVIDIA Corporation operates in Technology, so the article treats the company as an operating business with measurable growth, margin, reinvestment, and balance-sheet evidence. The snapshot keeps market cap, valuation, growth, quality, and leverage in one view before the prose moves into the chart exhibits.

revenue

NVDA revenue

$96.22B

Revenue history shows whether the business has been expanding before margins and per-share metrics are considered. Q2 FY2027 (2026-07-26): $96.22B.

≈48x over 10Y

Five-year revenue CAGR: 69.34%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.

Five-year revenue CAGR of 69.34% is the top-line test. A fundamental checkup becomes more durable when revenue growth is paired with earnings growth instead of depending only on margin expansion.

Growth Conversion

Growth conversion asks whether sales growth becomes per-share earnings. Revenue growth of 69.34% is the top-line evidence, while EPS growth of 94.31% shows shareholder conversion. If EPS outpaces revenue, the next section has to check whether that came with durable cash flow and margin quality.

EPS

NVDA EPS

$2.47

EPS history shows how much of the business growth has reached shareholders. Q2 FY2027 (2026-07-26): $2.47.

≈99x over 10Y

Five-year EPS CAGR: 94.31%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed or negative start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.

Five-year EPS CAGR of 94.31% is the shareholder conversion check. If EPS grows faster than revenue, the note should ask whether that came from margin quality, buybacks, or a temporary base effect.

Cash Flow Support

Cash flow is the first counterpoint to an earnings-led story. Five-year free-cash-flow CAGR is 82.12%, so the free-cash-flow exhibit sits immediately after the growth-conversion section. If cash flow lags EPS, the article should reduce confidence in the quality of the earnings path.

free cash flow

NVDA free cash flow

$21.40B

Free cash flow checks whether earnings are converting into owner cash. Q2 FY2027 (2026-07-26): $21.40B.

≈54x over 10Y

Five-year free-cash-flow CAGR: 82.12%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed or negative start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.

Free-cash-flow CAGR of 82.12% is the counterweight to the EPS story. If cash flow lags earnings, the quality of the fundamental setup deserves a more cautious reading.

Margin And ROIC Quality

The quality read depends on whether net margin of 63.66% and ROIC of 59.61% support the growth record. Margins show how much revenue becomes profit, while ROIC tests whether reinvested capital is earning enough to make growth more valuable.

net margin

NVDA net margin

62.03%

Net margin is the operating-quality check behind the growth record. Q2 FY2027 (2026-07-26): 62.03%.

+35.0pp over 10Y

Net margin (TTM): 63.66%. The bars below are annual fiscal years.

Net margin of 63.66% shows how much revenue becomes profit. The checkup is stronger when margin quality supports EPS growth rather than simply flattering one recent period.

ROIC

NVDA ROIC

59.61%

ROIC tests whether the business earns enough on reinvested capital to deserve attention. Q2 FY2027 (2026-07-26): 59.61%.

+45.2pp over 10Y

Latest ROIC: 59.61%.

ROIC of 59.61% is the reinvestment-quality check. A business with stronger returns can support a better long-term read even when the valuation is not obviously cheap.

Balance Sheet Flexibility

Balance-sheet flexibility is the guardrail around the growth story. Current ratio is 4.59x and debt-to-equity is 0.17x. Those figures matter because a company can show growth and margins while still losing flexibility if leverage rises or liquidity tightens.

debt-to-equity

NVDA debt-to-equity Chart

0.07x

Debt-to-equity keeps the checkup honest about balance-sheet flexibility. Historical series through 2026-01-25.

-84.78% over 5Y

Latest debt-to-equity ratio: 0.17x.

Debt-to-equity of 0.17x and current ratio of 4.59x are the balance-sheet checks. They matter because growth and margins are less valuable if financial flexibility is narrowing.

Valuation Context

Valuation is the final context, not the opening verdict. The stock trades at 26.67x trailing earnings and offers an earnings yield of 3.75%. That tells the reader how much growth and quality the market is already asking the business to defend.

NVDA Price Chart

NVDA$218.29 24.28%(6mo)End-of-day · Sep 11, 2026Advanced chart →

Latest close: $211 as of September 14, 2026.

The close at $211 is not the conclusion, but it is the market reference point. The fundamental read has to explain whether growth, margins, and balance-sheet support justify the price investors are paying.

Bull/Bear Case

The bull case is that revenue, EPS, free cash flow, margins, ROIC, and financial flexibility keep reinforcing the same business-quality read. The bear case is that one of those links breaks while valuation still reflects the stronger historical record. This is where the note turns from metric list to research judgment.

Bull and bear case

Fundamental support

  • Five-year revenue CAGR of 69.34% and five-year EPS CAGR of 94.31% support the business case.
  • Net margin of 63.66% and ROIC of 59.61% are the quality checks behind the thesis.

Fundamental pressure

  • Free-cash-flow CAGR of 82.12% can weaken the read if it falls away from EPS growth.
  • Debt-to-equity of 0.17x and current ratio of 4.59x are the balance-sheet checks that can change the view.

Final Read

The final read should change if the daily data updates move revenue growth, EPS growth, free-cash-flow growth, ROIC, or debt-to-equity away from the evidence above. It is general research context only, not personalized investment advice or a buy or sell call.
