    Nvidia Expands Buyback Program to $235B Through Fiscal 2028

    Question

    Nvidia Expands Buyback Program to $235B Through Fiscal 2028

    Direct answer

    Nvidia announced a massive $150 billion expansion to its share repurchase program, lifting total authorization to $235 billion through fiscal 2028. The program reflects substantial ongoing free cash flow generation from data center accelerator shipments. Despite the record authorization, shares traded lower alongside broader chipmakers as benchmark Treasury yields jumped, demonstrating that macro rate headwinds are currently dominating company-specific capital allocation catalysts.
