Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) shareholders are receiving this quarter’s dividend next week, on Friday, June 26, 2026.
More specifically, investors in the semiconductor leader on record as of June 4 will receive $0.25 per share, as per the latest numbers Finbold retrieved from DivvyDiary.
Notably, the upcoming payment marks an important milestone in Nvidia’s dividend history, being 25 times higher than one issued for the previous quarter on April 1.
Accordingly, investors holding 100 NVDA shares will earn $25 next week as the company’s new dividend and share buyback strategy kicks off.
New Nvidia dividend strategy
Looking back, the upcoming payment is a significant jump, as 100 NVDA shares would have yielded just $1 in April.
With 24.22 billion Nvidia shares outstanding, next Friday’s payout is expected to distribute more or less $6.055 billion to shareholders.
At the time of writing, a $10,000 investment in Nvidia at the beginning of 2026 would have grown to approximately $11,283, the total gain reaching $1,283 with dividends reinvested.
The investment achieved a total return of more or less 12.8% year to date, meaning the portfolio increased by nearly 13% in value over the period. However, Nvidia’s returns during this period have been driven primarily by capital appreciation, not dividend income.
When annualized, the total return CAGR reaches 30.4%, while the share price alone produced a CAGR of around 30%. The slight difference between these two figures reflects the positive impact of reinvested dividends, which have added modestly to overall performance.
Nvidia yield and payout ratio
Overall, Nvidia currently offers an annual payout of $0.28 per share, which translates to a dividend yield of 0.13%. For comparison, the average yield in the sector is 1.37%.
The company has increased its dividend for three consecutive years, demonstrating a commitment to returning capital to shareholders even while maintaining an aggressive growth strategy.
Finally, the stock pays dividends on a quarterly basis, and the price usually recovers within 2.5 days after the ex-dividend date.
