NVIDIA is uniquely positioned at the center of this transformation as the only platform that runs in every cloud, powers every frontier and open source model, and everywhere AI is produced – from hyperscale data centers to the edge.”
During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA returned a record level of approximately $20.0 billion to shareholders in the form of repurchased shares and cash dividends. As of the end of the first quarter, the company had $38.5 billion remaining under share repurchase authorization.
