• Nvidia's upcoming annual shareholder meeting is unlikely to move the needle for the stock.

• The next scheduled event that could be a key catalyst is the Q2 update on Aug. 27, 2025.

• However, buying Nvidia stock hand over fist could still be a good idea.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) will hold its 2025 shareholder meeting in three days. Should you buy Nvidia stock hand over fist before June 25? No -- at least, not because of the meeting. That doesn't mean scooping up shares of the graphics processing unit (GPU) maker over the next few days is a bad move, though.

Some corporate events can provide huge catalysts for stocks. Quarterly earnings releases are one obvious example. Major product announcements are another. Annual shareholder meeting? Not so much. However, there are other reasons you might want to buy Nvidia stock sooner rather than later.

For the most part, Nvidia's annual shareholder meeting this week will probably be boring. First on the agenda is to elect the board of directors. Unless something truly shocking happens, the nominated slate of directors should be a shoo-in.

Next up is a vote on advisory approval of executive compensation, commonly referred to as "say-on-pay." This allows shareholders to voice their approval or disapproval of Nvidia's executive compensation plan for the next year. However, the vote isn't binding on the board of directors.

Maybe the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Nvidia's independent accounting firm will excite some investors, but I doubt it. Either way, it's the next item on the agenda.

At last year's annual meeting, shareholders approved a nonbinding proposal requesting the board to eliminate supermajority voting provisions in Nvidia's charter and bylaws. After consideration, the board decided to recommend changing those documents. As a result, eliminating the supermajority voting provisions will be officially voted on at the upcoming meeting (and will, somewhat ironically, require a supermajority vote of 66 2/3% of shareholders to become effective).

On a similar note, three stockholder proposals are on the agenda this year:

• Eliminate the one-year holding period requirement to call a special stockholder meeting.

• Request that the board adopt a new director election resignation policy.

• Request that Nvidia enhance its public reporting to include a chart identifying employees by gender and race for the nine Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)-defined job categories.
