Nvidia (ISIN US67066G1040) authorized an additional USD 150 billion for its share repurchase program on September 28, 2026, according to NVIDIA. The authorization lifted the remaining program to USD 235 billion and is planned to run through fiscal year 2028.

Buyback capacity meets rapid growth

The capital-return decision followed Nvidia's fiscal second-quarter results for the period ended July 26, 2026. TPEHub reported revenue of USD 96.221 billion, up 106 percent from the year-earlier quarter and 18 percent from the prior quarter. GAAP gross margin was 75.00 percent, while GAAP diluted earnings per share reached USD 2.46.

The same fiscal-quarter release showed USD 59.688 billion in GAAP net income, up 126 percent year over year. Nvidia also guided fiscal third-quarter revenue to USD 108.0 billion, plus or minus 2 percent, while excluding Data Center compute revenue from China from that outlook.

What does the next quarter test?

The next test is whether demand can convert the current revenue pace into another large quarter without eroding margins. Nvidia's fiscal second-quarter operating cash flow was USD 24.077 billion, giving the buyback authorization a concrete cash-generation backdrop.

Dates and analyst expectations

MarketBeat estimates Nvidia's fiscal third-quarter 2027 results for November 18, 2026, after the US market close, with a conference call at 5:00 p.m. ET. The page lists consensus revenue of USD 108.82 billion and consensus earnings per share of USD 2.49.

Analyst expectations remain elevated. MarketBeat's October 20, 2026 overview showed a USD 321.47 average twelve-month price target from 56 analysts, alongside 50 Buy, 5 Strong Buy and 1 Hold ratings.

Stock valuation after the buyback

Nvidia's market capitalization was USD 5.2 trillion as of October 20, 2026, while its primary listing is on Nasdaq. The scale of the authorization therefore matters less as a short-term trading signal than as a statement about the cash available to support shareholders while the company funds accelerated-computing demand.
