This was largely motivated by a doubling of the company’s gaming revenue, which was up to USD$2.76 billion, as well as a 79% year-over-year improvement in data center revenue. The company’s revenue report for the first quarter of 2021 reported USD$5.66 billion, a massive 84% year-over-year increase from the numbers reported in the prior-year quarter. Following the four to one stock split, shareholders of record will find themselves to own four times as many shares as before the split, with the actual value of their investment staying the same. With changes being limited to the number of shares and according to the price of each, fundamentals remain unchanged, as does the long-term outlook of the company. While stock splits obviously affect the price of each share, they do not have a tangible effect on the actual value of the company or the value of its shares.

Accordingly, the price of each share will be reduced drastically, which is to be expected given the influx of a number of shares outstanding. As of the market opening on July 20 th, 2021, NVDA shares will trade on a split-adjusted basis.

May 2021 saw NVDA announce a stock split that would see each share of common stock being divided into 4 whole shares of common stock. The company’s stock has been climbing steadily and substantially for quite some time now, coming in at more than USD$800 per share as of the end of June 2021.
