Nvidia Announces Historic $150B Buyback as 2026 Stock Momentum Cools to 19%
Yahoo Finance ·
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has unveiled a massive $150 billion share repurchase program approved by its board on September 28, eclipsing Apple's previous U.S. corporate record of $110 billion set in 2024. The historic buyback follows a stellar fiscal second-quarter performance where net income surged 126% year-over-year to nearly $59.7 billion. Despite maintaining over 80% market share in AI graphics processing units, Nvidia's stock momentum has noticeably cooled, posting a modest 19% gain so far in 2026. This performance trails the S&P 500 Information Technology Index's 28% advance. As investor sentiment shifts toward memory chipmakers and Wall Street scrutinizes high AI infrastructure spending by major tech hyperscalers, Nvidia's valuation multiples have compressed significantly from prior peaks, reflecting a more cautious market environment.

DYAX 전담 분석
NVIDIA's approval of the record $150 billion share buyback demonstrates massive cash generation capabilities and reinforces downside price support. However, with Q2 revenue guidance falling short of Wall Street expectations and rising concerns over profitability relative to AI investments, stock momentum is currently in a slowdown phase.
Future stock direction will depend on whether big tech companies can materialize actual AI-related revenue and maintain valuation attractiveness. Investors should closely monitor the AI investment payback periods of hyperscalers and the price trends of alternative beneficiaries such as major memory semiconductors.
