Nvidia releases its Q4 2021 financial report tonight, This financial report is about the future policy planning of the entire US stock market and Trump, and also about our btc 😂 Perhaps the most important financial report in history I'm curious why the fourth quarter financial report has already been released in just one quarter. I asked DS: Nvidia's financial report dates are not consistent with the calendar year quarter, mainly due to its use of a fiscal year division method that is different from the calendar year. Here is a specific explanation: --- 1. NVIDIA's fiscal year cycle** Nvidia's fiscal year does not start on January 1st, but ends at the end of January each year. The specific division is as follows: -* * Fiscal Year 2025 * *: February 1, 2024- January 31, 2025 -Fourth quarter: November 1, 2024- January 31, 2025 -Fiscal Year 2026: February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026 -First quarter: February 1, 2025 to April 30, 2025 Therefore, on February 26, 2025 (user question time), Nvidia has released its fourth quarter financial report for the fiscal year 2025 (as of January 31, 2025), while the current first quarter of the fiscal year 2025 (January March) actually corresponds to the initial stage of Nvidia's first quarter of the fiscal year 2026. 2. * * Industry conventions** American technology companies generally adopt non calendar year fiscal years, such as: -Apple: The fiscal year begins at the end of September each year. -Microsoft: The fiscal year begins in July each year. This is usually done to match the business cycle of the enterprise (such as peak sales season during holidays) or historical legacy. --- **Summary** The "fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025" in Nvidia's financial report actually corresponds to the period from November 2024 to January 2025, while the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 (January March) is the initial stage of its 2026 fiscal year. This difference arises from the cyclical mismatch between the company's fiscal year and calendar year, which is a common practice among US listed companies.
