According to the latest estimates, the last Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) dividend of 2026 is coming just after Christmas.
Specifically, if the predictions are correct, the chipmaker will reward shareholders on December 26. The ex-dividend date is not yet known.
The estimated timeframe follows that of 2025, when investors as of December 4 received their quarterly Nvidia stock dividend on December 26.
Unlike last year, however, this year’s payout is most likely to be significantly higher, thanks to Nvidia’s new share dividend program.
Specifically, if the figure remains unchanged from the previous two quarters paid on June 26 and October 1, respectively, shareholders are going to receive $0.25 per share, as per Dividend.com data.

Accordingly, 100 NVDA shares are going to net exactly $25 in passive quarterly income. Based on the current NVDA stock price of $226, a 100-share investment would be worth $22,600.
To qualify for $100 in dividends, investors would thus need 400 NVDA shares in their portfolio. At the aforementioned stock price, such a position would be valued at $90,400.
The results of increased Nvidia dividends
As mentioned, Nvidia recently increased its dividend payment quite significantly. For comparison, in the first quarter of 2026, investors received only $0.01 per share.
The decision was part of CEO Jensen Huang’s roadmap for $1 trillion worth of orders for the next-generation Blackwell and Rubin platforms through 2027.
Even excluding the fourth-quarter payment, the results of the boosted dividend are more than apparent.
Notably, Nvidia has paid $0.51 per share so far in 2026. In the whole of 2025, however, the company issued only $0.04 per share.
If the next payout also lands at $0.25, shareholders will have received $0.76 per share in annualized Nvidia dividends, which is a 1,800% increase from last year.
