NVIDIA announced a record $150 billion stock buyback authorization, bringing total capacity to $235 billion through 2028. The company has aggressively returned capital to shareholders, with $34 billion repurchased in fiscal 2025, $40.4 billion in fiscal 2026, and $39 billion in the first half of fiscal 2027.

Trading at 24x forward earnings, NVIDIA's valuation appears reasonable given its AI dominance and strong earnings growth. Analysts project 90% EPS growth and 91.2% sales growth for the October quarter, with an average price target of $327.71, representing 45.6% upside from $225.07.
