# Nvidia Announces $80 Billion Buyback as AI Cash Machine Powers Record Flow

Nvidia Corporation said it approved an additional $80 billion share repurchase authorization as the chipmaker continued to generate strong cash flow from artificial-intelligence demand.

Nvidia said the new authorization comes on top of roughly $39 billion remaining under its existing buyback program. The company also raised its quarterly dividend to $0.25 per share from $0.01.

Nvidia generated about $48.55 billion in free cash flow during the fiscal first quarter ended April 26. The company said revenue rose to $81.61 billion, supported by continued strength in its data center business tied to AI infrastructure spending.

Nvidia projected second-quarter revenue of about $91 billion, plus or minus 2%, ahead of analyst expectations.
