Nvidia Closes at $238.90 as Investors Weigh AI Growth

Nvidia’s board authorized repurchases on its own schedule, while retirees holding shares in IRAs can sell without triggering capital-gains tax.

  • Nvidia recently expanded its stock buyback authorization by $150 billion, bringing the total program to $235 billion, the largest buyback boost on record.
  • Strong financial performance supports this expansion; Nvidia's free cash flow surged 77% to nearly $70 billion in the first half of fiscal 2027, with analysts expecting $190 billion for the full year.
  • CEO Jensen Huang claims the plan reflects the company's "confidence in the long-term opportunity ahead," while buybacks reduce outstanding shares and offset dilution from stock-based compensation.
  • Investment commentator Jim Cramer noted that buybacks "can't be episodic," requiring Nvidia to deploy capital when selling pressure is greatest to avoid negative market swings.
  • Despite the massive expansion, the $235 billion program equals only 4% of Nvidia's $5.65 trillion market cap, though the company remains essential "picks and shovels" provider for artificial intelligence.
