- a GME ape :)
For large shareholders, the dividend would still be worthwhile. From what I could find, Jensen has 1.3 million shares, so he'd receive over $200k in dividends this year. You might think that's chump change, but another source lists his salary at just under $1m; another 20% bump in liquid income is nothing to sneeze at.
Why?

Jensen Huang is worth $42 billion and has been a billionaire for probably a decade or so now? Any CEO with that net worth would use stock-secured loans/LOCs for liquidity. 200k is very much chump change.
I'll get right on that...after I go look up what that means. :-) I'm but a simple options trader who sells calls to unload stock I didn't want anymore anyway, and the premium is the icing on that cake. Left some money on the table this time, but I otherwise would have just sold the shares outright, and I did make some bank regardless.
Gonna be missing that sweet, sweet $0.04 dividend, though.
especially when it is awarded for merely having a stack of papers.
Record revenues, and a dividend of $0.04 on a $450 stock? That's not even worth the paperwork. For example, if you bought 100 shares, that's $45K. From that, around September $4 will show up in your account, which you have to pay taxes on. So $3 or so net on a $45,000 investment. Sure, there were stock buybacks, but why keep the token dividend around?
