WSJ reports Nvidia changed how it counts cash flow, with buyback implications

WSJ Markets reported that Nvidia quietly signaled a new way of thinking about the competing demands of capital returns and building its AI ecosystem through a subtle change to how it counts cash flow. A Reddit r/stocks post cited the same WSJ article and stated that in the first half of 2026 Nvidia generated about 75 billion in cash, allocating 43% to investments, 26% to reducing share count, 16% to offsetting stock-based compensation, 9% to dividends and 6% to CapEx, while claiming Reddit used all of its cash to offset SBC.
