Nvidia is a Californian-based company often associated with computer graphics, because its early work in the space essentialy redefined the modern PC gaming market.
Today, the company's largest revenue still comes from graphics, but it also produces networking solutions, automotive AI and more.
Since the start of 2024 its stock has surged 80% due to its dominance in the AI chip market.

Dividend investing
NVIDIA's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 9 June 2024. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 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.

Valuing NVIDIA stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of NVIDIA's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
NVIDIA's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 73x. In other words, NVIDIA shares trade at around 73x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
NVIDIA's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.1524. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into NVIDIA's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
NVIDIA's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$49.3 billion (£38.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a NVIDIA's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, NVIDIA's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$39.2215 up to US$129.8. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while NVIDIA's is 1.694. This would suggest that NVIDIA's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 1.22% of net profits
Recently NVIDIA has paid out, on average, around 1.22% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.03% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), NVIDIA shareholders could enjoy a 0.03% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NVIDIA's case, that would currently equate to about $0.016 per share.
While NVIDIA's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that NVIDIA is investing more in its future growth.
NVIDIA's most recent dividend payout was on 27 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like NVIDIA.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 18.45
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and NVIDIA's overall score of 18.45 (as at 12/31/2018) is excellent – landing it in it in the 12nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like NVIDIA is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 8.83/100
NVIDIA's environmental score of 8.83 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that NVIDIA is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 9.65/100
NVIDIA's social score of 9.65 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that NVIDIA is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 11.46/100
NVIDIA's governance score puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that NVIDIA is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. NVIDIA scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that NVIDIA has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
NVIDIA Corporation was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.
