Nvidia lifts buyback by $150B with FY28 P/E near a decade low
  • Nvidia authorized an additional $150 billion under its existing repurchase program, lifting the total remaining authorization to $235 billion, the largest buyback increase on record. Management expects to execute the full remaining program through FY28.
  • Nvidia's FY28 P/E sits at 14.5, below every megacap peer other than Micron and versus a five-year average of 62.9. The stock is up 23% year to date, trailing expected earnings growth.
  • Analysts expect Nvidia FY28 net income near $385 billion, up 60% year over year and more than fivefold over three years. Nvidia guided in August to 70% sales growth in FY28.
  • Rising memory costs and supply shortages pull Nvidia gross margin toward 71-72% in fiscal Q4 2027, with the November 17 fiscal Q3 2027 report the test for $108 billion revenue guidance and a 70% FY28 growth outlook.
