Key financial metrics, by reporting period
Company-reported, via TradingView03What should visitors watch next?
Earnings, product launches, customer spending, and the risks that matter.
Watch list
- Whether Q4 FY2026 AI semiconductor revenue reaches the guided $21.7 billion (236% YoY) source
- Whether total Q4 revenue lands near the guided ~$34.8 billion with non-GAAP operating margin held at 66% source
- Enterprise uptake of the VMware Private AI Cloud and VMware AI Factory offerings announced August 31, 2026 source
Growth drivers
- CEO Hock Tan: demand for the company's custom AI accelerators and networking continues to be very strong source
- AI semiconductor solutions include custom accelerators (XPUs), Ethernet switching/routing silicon, NICs, PHYs and optical components, plus racks and systems based on its XPUs source
- CFO Amie Thuener: Q4 consolidated revenue is forecast to increase 93% year-over-year to $34.8 billion while maintaining a 66% non-GAAP operating margin source
Risks
- A substantial reduction in orders from AI customers, or cancelled/delayed hyperscaler expansion plans, could materially harm results if the shortfall cannot be offset source
- Roughly 95% of wafer manufacturing comes from TSMC, which could prioritize other customers, raise prices or cut deliveries on short notice, preventing timely fulfillment source
- The top five end customers represented about 40% of fiscal 2025 revenue, so losing a major hyperscaler or AI infrastructure customer could materially reduce operating results source
