Question
Nvidia Adds Record $150 Billion to Share Repurchase Program
Direct answer
Nvidia announced an additional $150 billion share repurchase authorization, elevating total authorized repurchases to $235 billion. The massive scale reflects confidence in sustained free cash flow generated by generative AI hardware demand. Substantial buyback programs provide structural balance sheet demand, reducing diluted share count over time and providing downside price support during broader market consolidations.
