Asian technology shares found fresh momentum on Thursday (August 27, 2026) after Nvidia delivered another set of stronger-than-expected results, although stubborn US inflation kept investors from fully embracing the rally before Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s closely watched Jackson Hole speech.
Key facts

- The company generated revenue of US$96.22 billion in the second quarter of its 2027 financial year, up 18% from the previous quarter and 106% from a year earlier
