    Nvidia authorizes $150B buyback expansion, lifting program total to $235B

    Question

    Nvidia authorizes $150B buyback expansion, lifting program total to $235B

    Direct answer

    Nvidia significantly expanded its capital allocation framework by authorizing an additional $150 billion in share repurchases, elevating aggregate authorization to $235 billion through fiscal 2028. While the program represents one of the largest corporate buyback commitments in market history, Monday's cross-asset risk-off tone driven by geopolitical friction and multi-decade high Treasury yields muted the announcement's immediate intraday price impact.
