Nvidia Returns $46 Billion to Shareholders as Cash Reserves Soar

Nvidia's business has been boosted by the AI boom, leading to unprecedented demand and massive cash inflows. The company has already returned $46 billion to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks this year.

As of September 15, Nvidia is the world's most valuable company, with a market cap of over $5.1 trillion. Its quarterly dividend increased from $0.01 per share in Q1 to $0.25 per share in Q2, a 2,400% boost.

Nvidia's cash reserves have grown significantly, reaching nearly $100 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term securities. This has allowed the company to focus on shareholder returns instead of solely reinvesting for growth.
