WSJ Says Nvidia Buybacks Created Phantom Value
Original: How Nvidia's Buyback Created Phantom Value https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/how-nvidias-buyback-created-phantom-value-
The Wall Street Journal reports that Nvidia's massive share buyback program has inflated the chipmaker's stock valuation beyond what its underlying fundamentals justify, describing the effect as 'phantom value.' The analysis argues that repurchases have boosted earnings per share and stock metrics in ways that may not reflect genuine growth. Investors are weighing what this means for the sustainability of Nvidia's market value amid the AI boom.
Why now: Nvidia's outsized role in the AI stock rally makes any challenge to the basis of its valuation highly debated among investors.
