Nvidia is undoubtedly a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) computing chips, and the company has just reached another new milestone. It became the third-largest company in the United States by market capitalization – just days before the company is set to report its fourth-quarter earnings, which are expected to be impressive thanks to soaring demand for its AI technology.

Nvidia’s stock price has shot up by 231% in the past year alone, thanks to AI

Fueled by strong demand for their AI chips, Nvidia’s stock price has skyrocketed 231% in the past year, pushing its market value to a staggering $1.812 trillion. This surpasses Alphabet, the parent company of Google, whose market capitalization currently sits at $1.814 trillion.

The company’s impressive performance has also landed it a spot among the “Magnificent Seven” stocks, which represent the top performers on the S&P 500 this year. Nvidia achieved this by outperforming retail giant Amazon, solidifying its position as a major player in the tech industry.

Analysts are predicting a stellar performance from Nvidia in its upcoming earnings report, with expectations of an eye-popping 400% increase in profit compared to last year. Revenue is also expected to experience a significant jump, rising by over 300% to a staggering $20.37 billion.

Despite this optimistic outlook, some experts caution that the stock might already be reflecting its future potential. Currently, Nvidia trades at a higher price-to-earnings ratio compared to the industry average, suggesting that its future growth may be priced in. However, with the AI market still in its early stages, Nvidia undoubtedly holds a strong position for continued success. The company also unveiled its own AI Chatbot and a New GPU in the past few days.

While Alphabet remains a formidable competitor, Nvidia’s dominance in the AI chip market demonstrates the potential of this rapidly evolving field. Whether Nvidia maintains its third-place position remains to be seen, but its success serves as a reminder of the transformative power of artificial intelligence.
