TradingKey - On September 28, Eastern Time, Nvidia (NVDA) shares bucked the trend and gained amid broader pressure on technology stocks, driven primarily by its newly announced massive stock buyback plan. On September 28, Nvidia announced that its board of directors approved an additional $150 billion for its existing share repurchase authorization, bringing the remaining buyback capacity to $235 billion. The company plans to execute the program by the end of fiscal year 2028, marking the largest buyback in U.S. stock market history. Following the announcement, Nvidia rose 1.68% on the day to close at $228.86, touching an intraday high of $233.21, while the Nasdaq Index fell 0.92% over the same period, demonstrating that the buyback news provided clear independent support for the stock.
