Nvidia's board has authorized a record $150 billion share buyback, bringing its total authorization to $235 billion through fiscal 2028. CEO Jensen Huang linked the returns to strong cash generation, reinforcing the company's dominant position in AI infrastructure. This massive capital return signals management's confidence in future earnings and provides a structural floor for the stock, despite broader market volatility. Senator Elizabeth Warren and other Senate Democrats have sent letters to the CEOs of Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, questioning the appropriateness of tax subsidies for AI development. This political pressure introduces a regulatory overhang for the broader tech sector, potentially complicating the favorable policy environment that has supported AI capex. The development highlights the growing scrutiny of AI's economic impact and could dampen sentiment for large-cap tech stocks reliant on government incentives.
