The Nvidia $150 billion buyback authorization will raise the company’s remaining share-repurchase capacity to $235 billion. The company announced the increase on September 28 and said it expects to use the authorized amount through fiscal 2028. The decision comes as investors weigh Nvidia’s growth against questions about how long the current artificial intelligence spending surge can last.
The authorization is permission for Nvidia to repurchase shares, not a statement that it will spend the full amount immediately. The company’s release did not set a quarterly timetable. That distinction matters: the $235 billion figure describes remaining authority under the program, while actual purchases can take place over time.
Nvidia said the board approved the increase under its existing repurchase program. Chief Executive Jensen Huang linked the decision to cash generated by the company’s business and said Nvidia intended to keep investing in technology while returning capital to shareholders. The company described demand for AI computing as a major growth driver.
Reuters reported that the added authorization is the largest increase of its kind and is bigger than Apple’s $110 billion approval in 2024. The news agency said Nvidia shares rose more than 2% on Monday. Through the previous Friday, the stock had gained just over 20% for the year, broadly matching the Nasdaq 100 but trailing gains in AMD and Intel.
The market backdrop is central to the announcement. Reuters reported that technology companies are spending heavily on AI infrastructure, while investors are asking whether that pace can be sustained. The same report said Nvidia’s expansion of its remaining buyback capacity signals confidence in demand for its processors and services, but it does not resolve questions about future growth.
Nvidia ended its July quarter with $22.44 billion in cash and cash equivalents, Reuters reported. That balance is a snapshot from the quarter’s end; it is separate from the company’s multiyear repurchase authorization. The release did not say how much Nvidia would buy in any single period.
The company last announced an $80 billion share repurchase authorization in May, according to Reuters. Monday’s increase lifts the amount still available to $235 billion. Nvidia said it expects to execute the remaining program through fiscal 2028, leaving the timing and pace of individual purchases open.
Nvidia’s statement presents the expanded authorization as a way to return capital to shareholders alongside continued investment in its business. It ties growth to demand for AI computing, while Reuters’ report describes investor questions about how long the related spending can continue. The authorization itself does not provide a new revenue forecast.
For investors, the immediate news is the scale and duration of the authorization. Nvidia has made a larger pool of repurchases available while continuing to point to AI demand as a source of growth. Whether that demand supports the company’s longer-term outlook remains a question for future results, rather than something the authorization itself can settle.
