The computer chip giant announced the share repurchase as part of its fiscal second quarter earnings, in which it reported earnings and guidance that surpassed Wall Street expectations.
Nvidia returned $15.4 billion to shareholders in share repurposes and cash dividends as part of the company’s first half of its fiscal year 2025. The company said it had $7.5 billion remaining under its share repurchase plan, as of the end of its fiscal second quarter.
Second quarter sales rose 122% year-over-year to $30.04 billion, while net income jumped 168% year-over-year to $16.6 billion, Nvidia said.
The company said that it projects roughly $32.5 billion in third-quarter sales, topping analyst estimates of $31.7 billion.
