Nvidia has expanded its authorized share repurchase program by $150 billion, creating the largest approved buyback program ever recorded for a United States company.[^1]

Total remaining authorized buyback capacity now stands at $235 billion.[^3]

LSEG data shows Nvidia shares are trading at 16.5 times 12-month forward earnings. This is the lowest forward multiple the stock has traded at since January 2015. It is also well below the stock's 15-year average multiple of 30.[^2]

For a company that spent the prior cycle deploying every available dollar into compute capacity and supply contracts, the scale of this buyback appears to signal management will not commit this sum to further buildout at current market valuations.
