Nvidia Sets $235 Billion Share Buyback Authorization, Surpassing Apple
Nvidia has overtaken Apple with a $235 billion share repurchase authorization, according to data shared by Coin Bureau, giving the chipmaker the largest buyback authorization cited in the report.
The company added $150 billion to its existing share repurchase program and expects to execute the expanded plan through fiscal 2028. Nvidia’s move marks a substantial increase in the amount of capital it has authorized for returning to shareholders through stock purchases.
Nvidia Expands Share Repurchase Program
The additional $150 billion authorization significantly increases Nvidia’s capacity to repurchase its own shares over the coming fiscal years. According to Coin Bureau, the expanded program will run through fiscal 2028.
Share repurchases allow companies to use corporate cash to buy shares in the open market. The scale of Nvidia’s authorization places the program among the largest corporate buyback plans cited in the source.
Nvidia’s decision comes as its business remains closely tied to demand for artificial intelligence chips. The company has become a major supplier of processors used in AI computing, with its financial performance increasingly associated with spending on AI infrastructure.
Apple Previously Held the Record
Apple previously held the record cited by Coin Bureau after authorizing a $110 billion share buyback in 2024.
Nvidia’s new $235 billion authorization is more than twice markets that amount. The comparison reflects the size of the authorization rather than the amount Nvidia has already spent on repurchases.
The expanded program also does not mean that Nvidia will immediately deploy the full $235 billion. The company expects to execute the plan through fiscal 2028, spreading the authorization across the stated period.
Nvidia Shares Rise Premarket
The buyback announcement was reported alongside continued investor attention on Nvidia’s AI chip business. Coin Bureau said Nvidia shares rose to $229 in premarket trading following the report.
The share-price movement and the buyback authorization are separate measures: the authorization establishes the amount Nvidia has made available for potential repurchases, while the reported $229 figure represents the stock’s premarket price following the report.
The latest authorization therefore gives Nvidia additional capacity to return capital to shareholders while the company continues operating its AI-focused semiconductor business.
