Nvidia's board approved an $80 billion stock repurchase program on May 21 and raised the quarterly dividend 25-fold to $0.25 per share from $0.01. With $39 billion remaining under a prior authorization, Nvidia commands roughly $119 billion in total buyback capacity — one of the largest capital-return commitments in technology sector history. The announcement followed Q1 FY2027 results that beat analyst consensus on AI data-center GPU demand.
