Nvidia Returned $26 Billion to Shareholders Last Quarter Alone. Here's What That Buys You as an Investor.
Yahoo Finance ·
Nvidia 's ( NVDA -2.27% ) report for the second quarter of its 2027 fiscal year showed that the company is still enjoying incredible growth in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI) demand trends. The fiscal quarter, which wrapped on July 26, saw the business record non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share of $2.22 on revenue of $96.22 billion. For reference, the average analyst estimate had modeled adjusted per-share earnings of $2.10 on revenue of $92.17 billion. Along with its fiscal Q2 report, Nvidia also announced that it had returned $26 billion to shareholders in the quarter -- with $20 billion coming in the form of buybacks and $6 billion in the form of dividend payments. What does that mean for shareholders? With the first-quarter report it published in May, Nvidia announced it was raising its quarterly dividend to $0.25 per share -- marking a 2,400% increase. While the payout increase is huge on a percentage basis and substantially boosts returned income as a component of owning Nvidia stock, the dividend payout still isn't big enough to make a huge difference in the near term. For example, the company's dividend payout in the second quarter would have come out to $250 if you owned 1,000 shares of Nvidia stock. If you had your dividends set up to be rolled into new stock purchases through a dividend reinvestment program ( DRIP ), it would have added another full share and some change to your holdings.
