Nvidia investors seeking to earn $100 from the company's next dividend payment will need to own 400 shares, based on the declared quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share.
At Nvidia's closing price of $217.55 on August 28, 2026, purchasing 400 shares would require an investment of approximately $87,020. Shareholders who own the stock before the September 10, 2026 ex-dividend date will be eligible to receive the payout, scheduled for October 1, 2026.
Dividend Yield and Payout Ratio
Nvidia currently offers a forward dividend yield of about 0.46%, with a forward payout ratio of 6.44%, indicating that only a small portion of earnings is being distributed to shareholders. The upcoming dividend follows a previous payment of $0.25 per share made on June 26, 2026. The company has increased its dividend for three consecutive years.
Recent Financial Performance
On August 26, Nvidia reported fiscal second-quarter results that exceeded Wall Street expectations. Revenue surged 106% year-over-year to $96.2 billion, while adjusted earnings per share climbed 120% to $2.22. Data center revenue reached $89 billion, up 117% from a year earlier.
Forward Guidance
Nvidia expects third-quarter revenue of approximately $108 billion, which would mark its first quarter generating more than $100 billion in sales. The company also projected roughly 70% revenue growth for fiscal 2028, citing strong AI infrastructure spending across hyperscalers, enterprises, and cloud providers.
The strong outlook has reinforced bullish sentiment among analysts, many of whom maintain 'Buy' ratings on the stock, with price targets ranging from above $300 to as high as $515.
