Nvidia board authorises $150bn buyback increase
Nvidia said on 28 September 2026 that its board authorised a $150bn increase to its open-ended share repurchase programme, taking remaining buyback capacity to $235bn, a figure Reuters and CNBC independently cited. The company said the authorisation adds to existing capacity and did not set a timetable for purchases; no separate SEC filing documenting the board resolution appeared in public record at the time. The increase sits against much larger quarterly profits — net income rose to $59.688bn in the quarter ended 26 July 2026 — and comes amid rising long-term yields and easing short interest, so investors will watch upcoming filings for actual deployment.
