SGA U.S. Large Cap Growth Strategy stated the following regarding NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:

"NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) was a top contributor to performance during the quarter. The company reported strong results and introduced a new sales breakdown that highlights demand from the largest cloud companies, with the underlying numbers lining up well with its long-term outlook. Management commentary and investor focus also reflected confidence that demand remains strong despite ongoing debate around AI investment sustainability. Additionally, management reiterated sustained expectations for multi‑trillion‑dollar AI spending over the long term, growing contributions from both hyperscaler and non‑hyperscaler customers and increasing visibility into the company's networking and emerging CPU opportunities. Networking sales now run at about $60 billion annualized, and the new Vera processor is expected to add $20 billion. Capital returns also stepped up, with a commitment to return at least half of cash to shareholders and about $25 billion of buybacks planned each quarter. While competition and AI spending debates may contribute to periodic volatility, we believe the scale of the opportunity and Nvidia's technological advantages position the company favorably over the long term. We raised the target and added to the position during the quarter, maintaining an above-average weight."
