Nvidia Results After Stock Split

The chips of this company are built-in all electronic devices from watches to satellites. It is especially important for the production of mobile phones, game consoles, the automotive and military industries.

On our infographic, you can see the remarkable results of the company. NVIDIA's first-quarter revenue went up 84% year over year and its earnings per share surged 106%. NVIDIA's $5.66 billion in revenue exceeded the goal of  $5.3 billion. Revenue in the gaming segment jumped by 106% on strong demand for the company's graphics processing units used by gamers.

On May 26, together with its first-quarter revenue, the company announced plans for its fifth stock split since going public in ‘97. The 4-for-1 split will take place on July 20. But what does that mean for the company and for the shareholders?

The Nvidia board of directors said that the reason why they decided to split shares is "to make stock ownership more accessible to investors and employees." This means that the price of a single stock will be less for whoever wants to buy it. 

When a split occurs, investors will receive four shares for every share they own. The price of the existing shares will be divided by four. For example, instead of owning one share trading at about $760, after the split, investors will own four shares priced at $190 each.

With the company's impressive growth and an increasingly important role of cloud computing, and AI in the world, along with a share split, there are plenty of reasons to keep an eye on NVIDIA stocks.
