NVIDIA (NVDA) announces a 10-to-1 stock split, increases dividend

NVIDIA's upcoming stock split will go into effect starting in the first week of June 2024.

The NVIDIA company remains one of the most dynamic and well-performing companies in a world where artificial intelligence and graphics technology are ongoing crazes, so it should come as no surprise that all eyes were on the company as it announced its Q1 2025 earnings results. The company had a lot of interesting information to share, but notable among that info was the announcement of a 10-to-1 stock split, which is going to make way for increased dividend once the split is complete.

NVIDIA announced the stock split and increased quarterly cash dividend in its Q1 2025 earnings results posted on its investor relations website this week. The action will split NVIDIA’s issued common stock into 10 shares for every one currently existing share with the aim of making the stock more accessible employees and investors. The split will go into effect starting on June 7, 2024. Additionally, quarterly cash dividends will be raised 150% to $0.01 per share on a post-split basis.

      Finance people. Nvidia reported earnings after the bell today. Basically beat estimate and also announced a 10 for 1 stock split. Already up about 4% after hours. Look out tomorrow, could be fireworks.

        AI is definitely a bubble but I feel bad for you if you thought it was going to show up in this earnings call.

          I don't think it's a bubble as far as Nvidia is concerned - granted most of the AI startups and products will fail. But AI itself isn't going away, and it needs lots and lots of computing power.

            AMD has AI accelerators too and eventually intel and if this market really does grow for ever then these firms will invest in their own chip designs. It’s also possible that there are diminishing returns at throwing more hardware at the problem, that the bottleneck is how these models are trained rather than raw horsepower.

              Not throwing stones at AMD or Intel,,, I'm invested in AMD, However, It isn't solely reliant on the chips. NVIDIA has the software side dominated as well with CUDA. It's good all around for AI growth. This is NOT even close to a bubble... and Intel, AMD, and especially NVIDIA know that.

        What's this mean, we should buy after it splits?

          It means you should have bought 5 years ago.

            NVDA is not a get-rich-quick stock to buy now. However, you won't lose if you invest in it now. They are dominating the AI chip market by a long shot, and they will continue to dominate for years to come. The stock split is inconsequential. It merely gives the illusion that the stock is cheaper to buy into. It really doesn't matter, as you can currently buy fractions of a share now, and when it splits, you will own 10x that for 1 tenth the value per share. It's inevitably a smart buy, and it will be for the next 3-5 years before there is any threat of competition. Just keep in mind, this is a long term growth stock that will make you $ in the long run.
            There is a chance that the split will pump up the stock a bit in the short run, but don't count on it. And don't get discouraged if it drops... It will pay out in the long run.

              That’s actually a bit ouch, since selling any will likely mean fancy footwork on the tax end. Still, profit is profit. I got out of NVDA originally around 80, thinking it’d never go that far beyond back in the ancient days with a cost basis around $16.. LOL

                    It depends on how much capital gains you’re making that year- might entail some juggling to stay in a desired tax bracket. Personally, I’m pretty careful about that, but different people have different needs.

          it doesn't mean anything. just makes it more attractive to buy because it's cheap, but every place lets you buy partial shares now anyways so doesn't matter

          My opinion on buying before or after a split is this: sometimes before a split, you have an artificially created period of low volatility, between the date of record and when the split actually occurs. Now, if you happen to be borrowing against your holdings, trading on margin, etc. this is great. Chances are high that within that window, you can do whatever and not worry about an unexpected dip.

          For an individual investor, probably not a major selling point, but if you have need for creative financing against your holdings for whatever reason, it’s a handy factor to consider.
