Nvidia Stock Split History: Every Split Since 2000—and the 2024 10‑for‑1 Explained

Why this matters now

Nvidia’s 10-for-1 stock split in June 2024 reset the chipmaker’s triple‑digit share price during its AI-fueled surge, drew in new retail participation, and reshaped options liquidity—making “NVDA splits” a recurring headline. With markets still parsing Nvidia’s cadence of corporate actions, here is a clean, sourced timeline and what each split meant for investors as of May 5, 2026. (nvidianews.nvidia.com )

Nvidia stock split timeline (dates, ratios, mechanics)

• June 27, 2000 — 2‑for‑1 split announced in June 2000 during the company’s early growth phase. (nvidia.com )

• September 2007 — 3‑for‑2 split: board approval announced August 9, 2007; distribution September 10, 2007; shares traded ex‑split beginning September 11, 2007. (sec.gov )

The 2024 split at a glance

• What changed: Every one pre‑split share became 10 post‑split shares; price per share divided by 10. Nvidia disclosed the action alongside blowout Q1 FY2025 results and began split‑adjusted trading on June 10, 2024. (nvidianews.nvidia.com )
• Key dates investors used: Record June 6; Payable June 7; Trading split‑adjusted June 10. Options and other listed derivatives were adjusted by the Options Clearing Corporation per standard rules. (infomemo.theocc.com )
• Dividend optics: Nvidia raised its quarterly dividend 150% to $0.10 per share immediately before the split; on a split‑adjusted basis that equates to $0.01 per share. (nvidianews.nvidia.com )
• What didn’t change: A split does not alter Nvidia’s market capitalization or the economic value of a holder’s position at the moment of the split. Company FAQs emphasize the share count/price arithmetic without value creation in isolation. (investor.nvidia.com )

Cumulative effect since 2000

Stacking all six forward splits—2× (2000) × 2× (2001) × 2× (2006) × 1.5× (2007) × 4× (2021) × 10× (2024)—means a single share owned before June 27, 2000 would equal 480 shares today. The arithmetic follows directly from the official ratios and dates above.

Example: 100 pre‑June‑2000 shares → 48,000 shares today (100 × 480). Portfolio value immediately after each split is unchanged aside from normal market moves and dividend mechanics. (investor.nvidia.com )

Reading the fine print on split calendars

Split communications use three dates that can differ by a few days:

• Record date: determines who is entitled to receive the split shares.
• Payable/distribution date: when new shares are actually issued.
• Ex‑date/first trading date: when the stock begins trading at the split‑adjusted price; for U.S. markets this is typically the next business day after distribution. Nvidia’s 2001 and 2007 actions show how record, distribution, and ex‑dates can vary across calendars and filings. (d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net )

What changed around options and indices

For the June 2024 event, the OCC issued an infomemo indicating a 10‑for‑1 adjustment for listed NVDA options—contract multipliers, strike prices, and deliverables were revised so that pre‑split positions mapped economically one‑for‑ten post‑split. This ensured continuity for hedgers and speculators without value transfer. (infomemo.theocc.com )

Has Nvidia signaled another split?

Investor materials published through Q4 FY2026 continue to reference the ten‑for‑one split effective June 7, 2024; as of May 5, 2026, that remains Nvidia’s most recent split. Any future decision would be a board action disclosed via the company’s investor relations site and SEC filings. (investor.nvidia.com )

Bottom line

Nvidia has enacted six forward splits since 2000—most recently a 10‑for‑1 in June 2024—to improve share accessibility and market liquidity, not to change intrinsic value. For investors comparing long‑run returns or modeling options, the authoritative dates and ratios above are the ones to anchor on in 2026. (nvidianews.nvidia.com )
