Nvidia's Margin Pressure Is Micron's Revenue Boost

Nvidia (NVDA) reported Q2 2027 revenue up 106% YoY, with data center sales rising 117%. However, gross margins are expected to drop from 75% to 71-72% in Q4 due to rising memory costs. Nvidia's CFO attributed this to supply constraints from memory suppliers Micron (MU), Samsung, and SK Hynix, which are benefiting from increased demand. Nvidia expects margins to recover in fiscal 2028 as price increases take effect.
