  • Nvidia Stock Split History and Timing for Next Split
    May 3, 2026, 8:35 PM EDT. Nvidia's shares have surged over 500,000% since 1999, driven by growth in artificial intelligence chip demand. The company has split its stock six times since 2000, totaling a 480-for-1 ratio. Recent splits in 2021 and 2024 occurred at much higher prices, reducing shares from $750 and $1,200 down to around $190 and $120, respectively. Currently trading near $200, Nvidia would likely need a significant price jump-potentially doubling-to trigger the next split. Given its $4.8 trillion market cap and ongoing expansion, a split is probable but not imminent within a few years.
