Nvidia Stock Outshines Apple

Chipmaker Nvidia boasts a staggering 25-fold performance lead over Apple since the start of 2024. This comes as Nvidia prepares to execute a highly anticipated 10-to-1 stock split.

Year-to-date (YTD), Nvidia stock skyrocketed over 150%, while Apple shares gained a modest 6%, according to Nasdaq data. Even in the short term, Nvidia outpaces Apple, with a 34% monthly price increase compared to Apple’s 7% rise.

Fueling the Rise: AI and Chip Demand

Nvidia, the world’s top chip manufacturer, benefits from the booming demand for semiconductor chips, driven largely by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).

Stock Split Brings Mixed Signals

Despite pre-market trading showing a slight dip of 0.25%, Nvidia shares have climbed over 10% in the past week. The stock split, effective June 10th, could attract more retail investors. However, experts like Adam Coons, chief investment officer at Winthrop Capital, warn of potential volatility due to shorter-term investment decisions by new buyers.

Nvidia’s Shot at Number Two?

Nvidia’s market cap recently hit a record $3 trillion, fueled by surging chip demand. This achievement briefly propelled Nvidia past Apple as the world’s second-most valuable company.

Analysts like Gurps Rai, CEO of droppGroup, believe Nvidia’s dominance is on the horizon. He sees AI companies leading the next tech revolution, and Nvidia’s AI-focused chips position them perfectly. Major AI developers like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft all rely on Nvidia’s hardware, further solidifying their market position.

Ilan Rakhmanov, founder of ChainGPT Foundation, echoes this sentiment. He highlights Nvidia’s GPUs as the go-to solution for processing massive datasets, crucial for AI development. He expects Nvidia’s stock to continue its exponential growth alongside the expanding AI landscape.
