This quarter’s Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) dividend is set to arrive in exactly one week, on Thursday, October 1, rewarding investors with another cash payout.
Specifically, the leading chipmaker will distribute a dividend of exactly $0.25 per share. Accordingly, investors of record as of September 10 will receive $25 in passive income per 100 NVDA shares.
The upcoming payment remains unchanged from the previous quarter. However, the semiconductor giant has increased its overall annual dividend for three consecutive years while maintaining a strict quarterly payout schedule.
As of the time of writing, Nvidia pays $1 per share on an annual basis, with the dividend yield sitting at 0.45% (vs. 1.37% industry average). The forward payout ratio stands at 6.36%, reflecting its focus on reinvesting most of the earnings into growth.
Second quarter of Nvidia’s increased dividends
The upcoming payment marks the second quarter of Nvidia’s dividend increases announced in May 2026, when the technology company raised its quarterly payout from $0.01 to $0.25 and pushed the annual dividend from $0.04 to $1 per share.
Coming alongside an additional $80 billion share buyback plan, the dividend increase signalled a new era in Nvidia’s approach to shareholder returns.
Nonetheless, while Nvidia offers a dividend, the stock’s investment case remains primarily tied to its dominant position in the artificial intelligence (AI) market rather than passive income.
Indeed, shareholder returns are backed by rapid business growth, with Nvidia reporting revenue of $96.22 billion last quarter – up 106% year over year. Data center revenue alone jumped 117% to $89 billion. For the current quarter, Nvidia expects revenue of approximately $108 billion, above Wall Street estimates.
