Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.

Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 27, 2026, 9:41 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

Quoted token and share units can have different rights, multipliers and dividend treatment. This is not an executable premium or arbitrage signal.

Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards are about to get meaningfully more expensive in South Korea, with price increases reaching as high as 30%. The culprits are familiar ones: rising memory costs and persistent supply shortages.

South Korea isn’t just any market for graphics cards. It’s the global epicenter of memory chip production, home to Samsung and SK Hynix, two companies that collectively dominate the DRAM and NAND flash supply chains that underpin modern GPUs.

The RTX 50 series represents Nvidia’s latest consumer graphics lineup, built on the company’s Blackwell architecture. These cards are the successors to the RTX 40 series.

No specific model numbers or official pricing adjustments have been disclosed yet.

A 30% increase in GPU acquisition costs directly impacts mining profitability. Miners need to earn more per unit of compute just to break even, which can change the calculus on whether certain mining operations remain viable at all.

Nvidia’s GPUs are the backbone of the artificial intelligence boom, and demand from AI training and inference workloads has already been competing with gaming and mining for the same limited hardware supply.

During the GPU shortage of 2021, graphics card prices soared well above MSRP, creating a secondary market where scalpers thrived and legitimate buyers suffered. That episode eventually contributed to a shift in mining economics that helped accelerate Ethereum’s move away from proof-of-work entirely.

As of the August 3, 2026 reports, no crypto tokens or protocols were mentioned in relation to the news, and coverage remained limited, indicating the situation may reflect early-stage supply chain concerns rather than a widespread trend.
