Nvidia sets a $4 million bonus target for CEO Jensen Huang under its 2027 compensation plan tied to revenue growth.

Context

Nvidia has introduced a new compensation plan that sets a $4 million target cash bonus for chief executive Jensen Huang for fiscal 2027. The policy was approved by the company’s compensation committee on 2 March and disclosed in a regulatory filing, according to a Reuters report. The plan links executive bonuses directly to revenue targets for the financial year ending 31 January 2027.

Evidence

Pending intelligence enrichment.

Analysis

Huang’s target bonus equals roughly 200% of his base salary. If performance exceeds expectations, the payout could rise further under the plan’s stretch targets. The incentive programme also covers other senior executives, including chief financial officer Colette Kress, whose target bonus is set at $1.5 million. Huang already earns much of his compensation through equity. His total pay for fiscal 2025 reached $49.9 million, driven largely by $38.8 million in stock awards. The filing came soon after Nvidia reported stronger-than-expected results for its latest quarter and forecast revenue above Wall Street estimates. The company expects fiscal first-quarter sales of about $78 billion, plus or minus 2%.
