This is totally False, NVDA has not done any stock offerings. The money is coming from the ungodly amount of GPUs they are selling. In fact they are doing the opposite, they are buying back their stock because they have more money that they know what to do with.
- JCM9 1y agoA company buys back its stock if it thinks the stock is underpriced. Otherwise when “you have more money than you know what to with” you give it to your shareholders via a dividend. A concept mostly forgotten by tech companies.

- rhetocj23 1y agoSorry guys but this is why I dont want to see many finance related posts here, because very few know what they are talking about. Buybacks are the preferred method of RETURNING CASH to shareholders, because dividends historically have been sticky. Buybacks are flexible. Buybacks are also done to optimise the debt ratio, to minimise the firms cost of capital and thereby maximizing firm value.
