Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) shareholders are set to receive a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on June 26, 2026, with a snapshot scheduled for June 4.
The company’s Board of Directors approved a 25-fold increase in the quarterly cash dividends, from $0.01 to $0.25 per share of common stock, according to a filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As such, an investor holding 100 NVDA shares will earn $25 from the June 26 payout.
This marks a significant jump from the previous quarterly dividend, which would have yielded just $1 for the same 100-share position. With Nvidia having 24.20 billion shares outstanding as of June 3, the June 26 payout is expected to distribute approximately $6.05 billion to shareholders.
The dividend hike comes as Nvidia reported record revenue of $81.6 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, up 85% from a year ago. Notably, the growth was driven by record data center revenue of $75.2 billion, up 92% year over year. The company also posted a net income of $58.3 billion for the quarter, up 211% from the same period a year ago.
Nvidia increases cash dividend amid AI boom
Nvidia increased its cash dividends, bolstered by its explosive growth, largely driven by the artificial intelligence (AI) boom.
“Nvidia is uniquely positioned at the center of AI transformation as the only platform that runs in every cloud, powers every frontier and open-source model, and scales everywhere AI is produced,” Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, noted in the SEC filing.
Looking ahead, Nvidia issued a revenue guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 of $91.0 billion, up 11.5% from the record $81.6 billion posted in Q1. The continued revenue trajectory, backed by rising AI demand, suggests that the cash generation needed to sustain the new $0.25 quarterly dividend remains intact. However, if the AI growth experiences a bubble burst, the company could be forced to trim its cash dividends.
