Revenue grew 65.5% year over year — +428% above the sector median of 12.4% — and operating margin of 60.4% runs +107% above the sector median of 29.2%, a combination that few peers in Information Technology match at this scale. Debt/EBITDA of 0.1× sits -94% below the sector median of 0.9×, so the balance sheet carries little strain despite the pace of expansion. The F-Score of 3/9 is the sharpest counterpoint: efficiency signals are weak, and the score flags deterioration in several financial-health dimensions even as headline growth holds. On valuation, P/B of 34.7× runs +231% above the sector median of 10.5×, pricing in a sustained growth trajectory; the realized three-year EPS CAGR per SEC filings is strong, but the beat rate over the last eight quarters is mixed, so the market's forward models carry the usual optimism risk.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is steady; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When NVDA reports on 2026-11-17, track whether revenue growth sustains its current pace — 5.3× the sector median — and whether operating margin holds above the 29.2% level. The F-Score profitability sub-score of 2/4 signals that not all internal profitability checks are passing, so watch for changes in return on assets and cash flow from operations year over year.
Pull the most recent 10-K on SEC EDGAR and focus on management's discussion of margin sustainability and competitive dynamics. With a P/B of 10.5× against the sector median, the market is pricing in durable advantages — check whether management's own disclosures support that assumption or flag concentration risks.
From the same-sector table in section 06, pick two or three companies yourself and line up a single metric — operating margin or Debt/EBITDA are natural choices given NVDA's 0.92× leverage ratio. The table is alphabetical with no ranking, so the selection and the conclusions are yours to draw.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
A description of what the market and analysts expect. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. Analyst forecasts run systematically optimistic over long horizons — read them with that discount.
