How big is it?
Nvidia bought back $55.3B of stock in the twelve months to Jul 26, 2026. At that pace, $80.0B covers about 1.4 years of buybacks.
The amount equals 63% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($127B).
Its diluted share count is down 1.0% from a year earlier.
An authorization is permission, not a promise: the company can buy less, more slowly, or not at all, and usually doesn't have to say when it buys.
