Nvidia Board Authorizes Record $150 Billion Increase to Share Buyback Program
Nvidia's board of directors has authorized a substantial increase to its existing share repurchase program, adding a record $150 billion. This move, widely reported across numerous financial and technology outlets, represents the largest single buyback authorization in the company's history and, according to many, the largest in U.S. corporate history. The decision comes as Nvidia continues to generate significant cash flow, largely attributed to the booming demand for its AI chips.The announcement originated from Nvidia itself, with outlets like the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Reuters confirming the $150 billion increase. While most reports focused on this specific increase, one outlet, Українські Національні Новини (УНН), stated the total share buyback program would increase to $235 billion. The market reaction to the news was mixed; while Nvidia's stock initially climbed, some financial outlets noted that the broader chip or AI sector did not sustain buoyancy.
