Nvidia Returns $26 Billion to Shareholders in Q2
In fiscal Q2 of 2027, which ended on July 26, Nvidia reported strong financial results driven by high demand for artificial intelligence technologies. The company recorded non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $2.22 and revenue of $96.22 billion, exceeding analyst expectations. Alongside these figures, Nvidia returned a total of $26 billion to shareholders through buybacks ($20 billion) and dividends ($6 billion). The company raised its quarterly dividend by 2,400% earlier in the year, increasing it from an unspecified previous amount to $0.25 per share. For example, owning 1,000 shares would yield a second-quarter dividend of approximately $250 — not substantial for large positions but potentially impactful over time through reinvestment programs. Nvidia's buyback activity reduced its total number of outstanding shares and boosted EPS by lowering the denominator in that calculation. Despite issuing around $4 billion worth of new stock to employees, the net impact of share repurchases was still significant at approximately $16 billion.
