Searches for 'buyback ETF' jump 5,000% after Nvidia's $150 billion buyback authorization

The $150 billion authorization is roughly 15% of the $1 trillion in U.S. buybacks in 2025, though the two measures are not directly comparable.

At a glance

  1. The same coverage counts two dedicated U.S. buyback ETFs, the entire supply it identifies on the market.
  2. One is a permission to buy, the other a yearly total.
  3. The 5,000% jump is a percentage change; the coverage does not supply a baseline for it, so the underlying search volume is unclear.

Searches for the term 'buyback ETF' rose 5,000% after Nvidia's $150 billion buyback authorization, according to ETF Trends.
