As a leading chip maker (not the potato kind), Nvidia’s components are a key tool used for AI, meaning that most big tech companies rely on its technology. As a key player in the AI space, the uptick in this area has led to a massive increase for Nvidia’s stock price, making it one of the most valuable companies in the world with a multi-trillion-dollar valuation.
Buying Nvidia shares has been likened to owning shovels in an AI gold rush. However, it remains a volatile stock despite its monstrous valuation because it's priced for perfection. For example, Nvidia's stock experienced the largest single-day drop in stock market history in January 2025, plummeting $600 billion (about £475 billion) in response to the soaring popularity of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI rival, building LLM models cheap as chips. The share price did recover later in 2025, which just highlights Nvidia's volatile nature.
The whole process can take as little as 15 minutes. You'll need a smartphone or computer, an internet connection, your passport or driving licence and a means of payment.
June 1, 2026: At his Computex keynote in Taipei, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the RTX Spark Superchip, a Windows-on-Arm AI PC platform pairing a Blackwell GPU with a custom Grace Arm CPU and 128GB unified memory, with laptops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, MSI and a Microsoft Surface Ultra arriving in autumn 2026.
May 20, 2026: Nvidia reported fiscal Q1 2027 results on 20 May: revenue rose 85% year-on-year to $81.62b (above the ~$79.2b consensus), with data-centre revenue of $39.1b, up 69%. CEO Jensen Huang said Blackwell sales were "off the charts." Shares slipped slightly after hours despite the beat.

Dividend yield: 0.13% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 0.46% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 7.42% of net profits
NVIDIA has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.13% of its share value annually.
NVIDIA has paid out, on average, around 7.42% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.46% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 0.46% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NVIDIA's case, that would currently equate to about 0.28 per share.
While NVIDIA's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
NVIDIA's most recent dividend payout was on 30 September 2026. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 9 September 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
NVIDIA's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
NVIDIA's fiscal year ends in January.
NVIDIA's address is: 2788 San Tomas Expressway, Santa Clara, CA, United States, 95051
NVIDIA's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 9 June 2024. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your NVIDIA shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for NVIDIA shares which in turn could have impacted NVIDIA's share price.
It's as easy to sell NVIDIA as it is to buy! Here's how to sell NVIDIA shares that you already own.
Most dealing providers will let you use your debit card to top up your account and buy shares. The main ways are with a debit card, bank transfer or with Apple/Google Pay.
The easiest way to get hold of some NVIDIA shares is to sign up for a share trading app and place a market order or basic order. This type of order tells the platform that you're interested, so it'll try to execute it as quickly as it can. It could take some time for the order to go through, especially if there's a lot of volatility in NVIDIA shares.
