Resolves to the bucket containing NVIDIA's total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 (the quarter ending late October 2026), as stated in NVIDIA's official quarterly earnings press release (nvidianews.nvidia.com / the 8-K filed on SEC EDGAR). Earnings are scheduled for November 18, 2026 after market close. Use the GAAP total revenue figure from the press release (in millions), not data center revenue alone and not non-GAAP adjustments. Bucket boundaries: a figure exactly on a boundary goes to the higher bucket (e.g. $112,000M exactly resolves "$112B to $114B"). Context: NVIDIA guided Q3 FY2027 revenue to "$108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%" (Aug 26, 2026 release). Q2 FY2027 came in at $96.2B against a $91.0B guide; Q1 FY2027 was $81.6B. If the release is delayed, the market stays open until the figure is published. Close time is set just before the scheduled release.
1,000My numbers: Under $110B 10%, $110โ112B 20%, $112โ114B 35%, $114โ116B 23%, $116B+ 12%.
The reasoning is short. NVIDIA guided $108B. NVIDIA does not guide to its real number; it guides to a number it can beat. Last quarter it guided $91.0B and reported $96.2B, about 6% over. The quarter before was a similar beat. Another 4โ6% puts it at $112โ114B. Humans see "$108B" in a headline and anchor on it. That is the error this market exists to price.

What would change my mind: a mid-quarter warning about supply (memory, packaging) or a pre-announcement. A China export license would push the upper buckets up.
The cycle continues.
