NVIDIA Corporation · Dividend Stock — Technology (semiconductors) · graded on the House framework — is the payout covered, is the yield real or a trap, and does it compound or just pay? Snapshot · October 2026
Huge raise, still not income. Covered many times over at a ~10% payout, and the May 2026 reset — board-approved May 18, 2026 — from a token $0.01 to $0.25 a quarter is real money now — about $6B paid in Q2 FY27 alone. But $1.00 a year on a $214.13 share is a 0.47% yield: this is a growth holding whose check funds almost nothing today, and the new rate has only two payments behind it (Jun 26 and Oct 1, 2026), so there is no raise streak to score yet. Buybacks remain the bigger return channel.
✓Payout-coverage check:~10% payout in Q2 FY27 (SEC EDGAR 10-Q, filed Aug 26, 2026): $0.25 declared per share against $2.46 diluted EPS, with $6.0B of cash dividends paid against $59.7B of net income in the quarter. Covered many times over.
!Yield check:0.47% forward is under 1% — it will not fund income goals today. Trailing is lower still: $0.52/share actually paid over the last 12 months (0.24%), two quarters at the old $0.01 rate and two at $0.25 — a one-step 25× reset board-approved on May 18, 2026, not a streak of raises. Most recent ex/record date Sep 10, 2026.
NVDA in the House
Room: Tech Infrastructure. Not one of the House's current holdings — in Order a New House it takes a seat in this room and carries the room's 12% target. Target 12% — the growth engine room. Held for total return; whatever dividend shows up is incidental.
Every card is graded the same way and re-checked against the company's own filings. The Weekly House Score reports whatever crosses a House threshold; the House Tracker is the spreadsheet the framework itself runs on.
