Nvidia raises share buyback program by $150 billion to $235 billion

American chipmaker Nvidia is raising the ceiling on its share buyback program - a form of dividend to owners - by $150 billion (equivalent to SEK 1.5 trillion).

In total, Nvidia, by far the world's most highly valued listed company, has been authorised to repurchase shares worth $235 billion (just over SEK 2.3 trillion) under the share buyback programme, which runs through the 2028 fiscal year, Nvidia said in a statement.

The announcement lifted Nvidia's stock by just over 1 percent in futures trading on Wall Street.

Buybacks reduce the number of outstanding shares and thus mean that the price per remaining share becomes higher.
