WS #15268
Nvidia's board approved a massive $150 billion share buyback, lifting total authorization to roughly $235 billion through fiscal 2028. This corporate action, paired with the stock hitting a new all-time high and a $5.7 trillion market cap, underscores the immense cash generation capabilities of the AI infrastructure leader. The market interprets this not just as a capital return, but as a validation of the sustained demand for AI chips, effectively cementing Nvidia's position as the primary beneficiary of the ongoing digital transformation. The latest US jobs report showed only 29,000 jobs added, significantly missing the 90,000 expected consensus. This weakness has rapidly cooled market bets on aggressive Federal Reserve rate hikes, reinforcing the narrative of a cooling labor market that supports a 'soft landing.' The dovish shift in rate expectations is a primary tailwind for growth stocks and high-multiple tech assets, providing the liquidity backdrop for Nvidia's surge.
