NVIDIA warranty claims rose nearly 10x
Warranty Week, a trade publication focused on warranty data, claims NVIDIA’s warranty claims have surged by roughly 1000% in the last three fiscal years. According to the report, claims rose from about $193 million in fiscal 2023 to about $1.95 billion in fiscal 2026.
The report says NVIDIA’s warranty costs and accruals (money companies set aside for warranty claims) also moved higher through 2025. That is a sharp change from earlier years, when warranty-related figures were much lower and far more stable. Warranty Week says it compiled the numbers from NVIDIA’s financial disclosures.

A larger installed base usually means more warranty activity, but Warranty Week argues NVIDIA’s increase was still unusually large.
