Nvidia is rolling out a 10-for-1 stock split, cashing in on the AI boom it has been driving and giving investors a hefty nugget. 

The stock has advanced over 91% this year, closing at $949.50 per share on Thursday. 

Post split, which is effective on June 7, 2024, one Nvidia share would be worth $94.95.

Nvidia is considered the poster child for AI leading other rivals including Meta and Google under the direction of CEO Jensen-Huang who is also the company's largest individual shareholder owning nearly 4% of company shares, as tracked by Thomson Reuters. 

"The next industrial revolution has begun — companies and countries are partnering with NVIDIA to shift the trillion-dollar traditional data centers to accelerated computing and build a new type of data center — AI factories — to produce a new commodity: artificial intelligence," said Huang in the earnings announcement. 

Stock splits are in vogue this year as companies with high-priced shares roll out these divides rewarding current investors and enticing new ones.
