According to the latest estimates, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is scheduled to pay its third quarterly dividend of 2026 on October 2.
The chipmaker will reward shareholders with $0.25 per share, meaning the payment will remain unchanged from the previous Nvidia dividend payout date on June 26, as per the data Finbold assessed on Dividend.com.
Like the June payout, the upcoming dividend is a continuation of the companys new dividend policy of distributing 50% of free cash flow via dividends and share buybacks.
Shareholders holding 100 NVDA shares will receive $25 in dividends pre-tax – a significant increase from just $1 received in April.

With about 24.391 billion shares outstanding, the total dividend payout will amount to approximately $6.1 billion. To be eligible for the next Nvidia stock dividend, investors will have to have purchased their shares by August 27, at least according to the current estimates.
As of press time, the companys projected three-year dividend compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at 262.2% for 2026 and 197.4% for 2027. On the other hand, the projected five-year CAGR is expected to exceed 116% in 2026 and 128% in 2027. The estimated 10-year dividend CAGR is projected at more than 51%.
Despite the rapid dividend growth, however, Nvidias forward payout ratio remains just 7.84%, suggesting the company retains the vast majority of its earnings for investments. Nonetheless, the company has increased its dividend for three consecutive years, showing it still remains committed to returning capital, even while maintaining an aggressive growth strategy.
Overall, Nvidia currently has a dividend yield of 0.13%. For comparison, the average yield in the sector is 1.37%. Finally, the stock pays dividends on a quarterly basis, and the price usually recovers within 2.5 days after the ex-dividend date.
