The past two years have favored one sector of the stock market overall: the technology sector, with a specific amount of attention going into the semiconductor industry. Just as in any popularity cycle in the market, there was one darling name that investors chose to keep their sights on: NVIDIA Co. NASDAQ: NVDA.
Don't count on the chip maker racking up stellar returns again, with artificial intelligence spending likely to slow down this year.
Humanoid robots are machines powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that physically resemble humans and can emulate human movements and communication. While many of us can still only dream of having a humanoid maid like Rosie from the futuristic Jetsons cartoon, useful humanoid robots will be here sooner than many people realize.
Nvidia (NVDA 3.10%) has been one of the hottest stocks on the market in recent years. Shares have advanced 840% since December 2022 amid tremendous demand for the company's graphics processing units (GPUs), chips that power essentially all of the most advanced artificial intelligence systems.
Nvidia (NVDA 3.10%) was founded in 1993, and it went on to create the world's first graphics processing units (GPUs) for computing, media, and gaming applications. Now, decades later, the company has adapted those powerful chips for data centers, where they are used to develop advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models.
The last few years of AI-induced gains have some folks going on bubble watch. And while the meteoric rise of names like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) could end in a painful pullback of sorts at some point down the line, I'm not so sure you can dismiss all high-tech AI innovators as a bubble that's just waiting to be burst.
Nvidia has shown exceptional performance due to AI-driven growth but faces shifting customer needs and regulatory headwinds, moderating future returns. Despite these challenges, Nvidia still offers upside potential with projected revenue growth of 55-60% through FY26 and stable operating margins. Regulatory risks and changing market needs present short-term headwinds, but Nvidia remains a high-quality, high-growth company with innovative chip products.
In the early days of 2025, Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) share price has hovered below the $150 mark, but technical indicators suggest this level could be surpassed in the first quarter of the year, potentially reaching $180.
Many billionaire investors loaded up on Nvidia's (NVDA 3.10%) stock as it soared over the past few years. That wasn't surprising, since its soaring sales of artificial intelligence (AI)-oriented data center GPUs turned it into one of the market's hottest growth stocks.
By Christopher Gannatti, CFA, Global Head of Research Key Takeaways At CES 2025, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a transformative vision for AI, highlighting its potential to redefine industries through innovations like generative AI, agentic systems and pioneering partnerships.
After languishing for some time after the company's Q3 earnings, shares of artificial intelligence (AI) juggernaut Nvidia (NVDA 3.10%) briefly shot up to nearly $150 before retreating to their current level south of $140.
Will 2025 be the year that the king of the artificial intelligence (AI) sector is dethroned? To be sure, chipmaking giant Nvidia (NVDA 3.10%) isn't likely to take a trip to the dungeon.
