Can Nvidia Stock Double in 5 Years?
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has delivered extreme wealth for early investors, but it's also rewarded investors who bought shares fairly recently. Although it's been under pressure this year, it's up more than 740% over the past three years. That's far more than double. Buying Nvidia stock today would be a no-brainer for anyone who thinks it can replicate that success. But it wouldn't even have to achieve such a rare feat to be valuable to investors. If it doubles five years from now, it would likely beat the market and be a very valuable addition to almost any portfolio. Let's see if that might be in the cards. Enviable performance Nvidia has had an unbelievable run over the past few years since generative artificial intelligence (AI) became the hottest thing since sliced bread. Tech companies are racing to develop the most competitive AI platform or integrate some aspect of AI into their user interfaces. Companies now offer AI-generated content, images, summaries, and more, and they're using agentic AI to get more stuff done with less human intervention. What's common to all of these applications is that they need powerful chips to make the magic happen. There are two basic parts of bringing generative AI to life. One is training, or the input stage, where large language models (LLM) scan tons of data to build their knowledge base. The other is inference, where the LLMs "infer" what's being asked or prompted to deliver the required output. Nvidia also services other industries with its powerful platform, including gaming, which is what drove higher sales before generative AI heated up. Nvidia has been unstoppable. In the fiscal 2026 first quarter (ended April 27), sales increased 69% over last year. Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.81, including a charge it took for shipments it couldn't send to China because of U.S. policy. Even with the $0.15-per-share impact, Nvidia's EPS were well above last year's figure. Unusual opportunities As LLMs become more stable and effective, they're now going past inference to reasoning, which is a more developed stage of inference that takes a bit longer, but produces better results. Instead of popping out instant answers, LLMs that use reasoning might take a few seconds to "think" and then respond. To keep up with the ever-increasing demands for powerhouse chips, Nvidia continues to develop more powerful technology. The Blackwell model has given way to Blackwell Ultra, and Nvidia is planning on launching new technology, called Rubin, in 2026. "AI inference token generation has surged tenfold in just one year," CEO Jensen Huang said, "and as AI agents become mainstream, the demand for AI computing will accelerate." Clients use these chips to power huge data centers where all of this is taking place, and big AI-using companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms are building data centers. Nvidia's data center revenue outpaced total revenue in the first quarter, up 73% from last year. Nvidia has the best and most powerful chips, and it has the lead in this market by a wide margin. Estimates put it somewhere between 70% and 95% of the AI chip market, and as the opportunity grows, it's easy to see how much it could benefit Nvidia. Priced to buy Despite its lofty ambitions and premier performance, Nvidia stock isn't very expensive. At the current price, it trades at only 25 of next year's earnings estimates. That gives the stock extra room to increase without becoming unreasonably expensive, making it easier to imagine scenarios where it can double your money. From a sales perspective, it's fairly expensive, trading at 23 times trailing-12-month sales. That's a premium valuation for the growth that it has reported. To imagine doubling your money, you'd have to keep that ratio constant, because it isn't likely to rise. Keeping it constant, Nvidia would have to report a compound annual growth rate of 15% to double over five years. That seems very doable, considering its current performance and future opportunities. And even if it can't sustain such a high price-to-sales ratio, it can probably achieve higher than 15% growth over the next five years, which means it can double even at a lower ratio. All this means Nvidia stock is likely to double over the next five years -- and it's very possible that it could do it even sooner. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?

2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Could Dominate the Rest of 2025
As long-term investors, it's most important to focus on where a company will be in 10 years and invest accordingly. But it's also beneficial to find growth stocks benefiting from catalysts that could send their shares higher in the near term. After falling earlier this year, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) are starting to see their share prices rise. AMD is a leader in supplying artificial intelligence (AI) chips to data centers, while Amazon is benefiting enormously from its increasing use of robotics in its fulfillment centers. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Here's what's driving these stocks higher and why they have room to run. 1. Advanced Micro Devices Shares of AMD have soared 61% since hitting a 52-week low of $76.48 in April. The company reported its third consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue growth as it prepares to launch new versions of its MI300 series of graphics processing units (GPUs) for data centers. AMD is building momentum. It recently announced an agreement with Saudi Arabia's new AI enterprise HUMAIN to build cost-efficient computing systems using AMD chips to power advanced AI workloads for enterprises, start-ups, and governments. This news comes as AMD is set to launch its MI350 GPU. Its first data center GPU debuted in 2023: the MI300 chip, which raked in $5 billion of revenue last year. The MI350 promises 35 times more throughput and performance than the MI300x, and management said on the first-quarter earnings call that customer interest is "very strong." Oracle is already in line to deploy a large-scale cluster powered by MI355x accelerators for AI workloads. AMD reported a 36% year-over-year increase in revenue in the first quarter, accelerating from a 24% increase in the fourth quarter of 2024. The momentum is catching investors' attention heading into the company's upcoming Advancing AI event, where analysts are expecting it to announce new design wins and potentially new customers for its GPUs. During the first-quarter earnings call, management noted positive customer feedback and plans for broader deployments for its MI400 chip, which is being launched in 2026. Even with the risk that chip export controls might pressure revenue, CEO Lisa Su doesn't see China chip restrictions changing AMD's long-term addressable market, which is estimated at $500 billion. AMD is on track to finish 2025 on a high note. The consensus analyst estimate has earnings per share growing 20% in 2025 before surging 44% in 2026, according to Yahoo! Finance. Given this expectation, the stock's forward price-to-earnings multiple of 31 could support more gains in the near term. 2. Amazon Shares of Amazon have rebounded 42% from their 52-week low of $151.76. With analyst estimates calling for record earnings in 2025 and 2026, the stock could be ready to hit new highs in the second half of the year. The company reported a 62% year-over-year increase in earnings in the first quarter. Its growing use of robotics across its fulfillment network is starting to gain attention on Wall Street that could send its stock higher in the second half of 2025. There's no retailer more invested in robotics than Amazon. Since it acquired robotics company Kiva Systems in 2012, Amazon has continued to lean into this technology to improve delivery speeds and efficiency. It has the largest fleet of industrial robots, with over 750,000 across its fulfillment network. This technology is getting very sophisticated, and it uses different types of robots for various tasks. For example, its Vulcan robot knows how much force to apply to an object to avoid damaging it. Amazon says it has several initiatives underway to improve its cost structure. It is reportedly testing the use of humanoid robots for carrying packages from the delivery van to a customer's door. This could be very beneficial to margins in the long run, since the last mile typically accounts for over half of total shipping costs. With AI and robotics getting more advanced every year, now's the time to buy Amazon stock. Robots are only going to get more capable in the coming years, which will increase the number of tasks they can handle in the company's fulfillment centers. This spells massive productivity gains and margin improvement that is not reflected in the stock's current valuation. The shares are trading at 35 times 2025 earnings estimates, which looks very reasonable considering the robust earnings growth over the past year and opportunities for higher margins over the long term. As Wall Street continues to pay attention to Amazon's opportunity in robotics, the stock could climb higher. Should you invest $1,000 in Advanced Micro Devices right now?

Prediction: 3 Non-Tech Stocks That Can Blow Past Nvidia's Market Cap by 2035
For more than two years, the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has dominated the investment landscape. The capacity for AI-empowered software and systems to make split-second decisions without the aid of humans is a technology that can provide operating efficiencies throughout most industries around the globe. In Sizing the Prize, the analysts at PwC pegged this global addressable market for AI at $15.7 trillion by the turn of the decade. Even if this estimate is just somewhat in the ballpark, it points to a game-changing trend that can positively impact a long list of businesses. However, no company has more directly benefited from the rise of artificial intelligence than Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). It took less than two years for Nvidia's market cap to catapult by more than $3 trillion, and for it to, briefly, become the most valuable publicly traded company. While it would appear that nothing can go wrong for Nvidia, historical precedent would beg to differ. A decade from now, Nvidia stock coming back to Earth, coupled with steady growth from other magnificent businesses, can lead to three non-tech stocks blowing past Wall Street's AI darling in the market cap column. History isn't on Nvidia's side Let me preface this discussion by giving Nvidia credit where credit is due. Its Hopper graphics processing units (GPUs) and successor Blackwell GPU architecture account for the lion's share of GPUs deployed in enterprise AI-accelerated data centers. It's a testament that Nvidia is producing a superior product that's clearly outpacing its direct external rivals in compute potential. Nvidia also took advantage of economic scarcity. With demand for AI GPUs handily outpacing their supply, and world-leading chip fabrication company Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing unable to expand its production capacity fast enough to satiate demand, Nvidia's hardware is commanding a 100%-plus premium to rival chips. There's a reason Nvidia's gross margin topped 70% throughout fiscal 2025 (its fiscal year ends in late January). But there's a historical headwind that's lies undefeated since the mid-1990s, and it squarely has artificial intelligence and Nvidia in its proverbial sight. Every next-big-thing technology and innovation for more than 30 years has endured a bubble-bursting event early in its expansion. In other words, investors have been consistently overestimating the adoption rate and/or utility of game-changing trends for decades -- and AI looks to be no exception. Most businesses deploying AI solutions haven't optimized them and aren't generating a positive return on their AI investments. If history rhymes once more, and an AI bubble were to form and burst, Nvidia would almost certainly be one of the biggest losers. This isn't to say Nvidia won't be wildly successful after artificial intelligence matures as a technology. Rather, it points to the historical precedent that market leaders of next-big-thing trends always falter in the early going due to the overzealousness of investors. However, the following three non-tech titans all have the tools and intangibles needed to leapfrog Nvidia's valuation over the next 10 years. Berkshire Hathaway Though non-tech companies tend to dominate the trillion-dollar ranks, it's Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), which seems likeliest to surpass Nvidia's market cap by 2035. Even though the Oracle of Omaha is stepping down from his role as CEO by the end of this year and handing the reins over to Greg Abel, a foundation has been laid that can sustain double-digit returns for Berkshire Hathaway's stock. One reason Berkshire stock has delivered an annualized return of almost 20% spanning 60 years is because Buffett and his team have focused on cyclical businesses. Instead of trying to time when inevitable recessions will occur, Buffett has packed his company's $280 billion investment portfolio and owned assets with businesses that can take advantage of nonlinear periods of growth. With the average U.S. recession since World War II lasting just 10 months and the typical expansion enduring for five years, Buffett and his crew simply need to exercise patience and allow time to work its magic. Warren Buffett also has a penchant for diving into dividend stocks. Companies that pay a regular dividend have historically run circles around their non-paying peers in the return column over the last half-century. Berkshire appears to be on track to collect more than $5 billion in dividend income this year alone. Don't overlook Berkshire's phenomenal buyback program, either. Despite Buffett going cold turkey on share repurchases for three consecutive quarters, he spent close to $78 billion, in aggregate, buying back his own company's stock from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2024. These buybacks have helped to boost Berkshire's earnings per share and made its stock more attractive. Visa A second non-tech stock that can blow past Nvidia's valuation over the coming 10 years is none other than payment-processing leader Visa (NYSE: V). Visa's current market cap of $715 billion places it more than $2.7 trillion behind Nvidia. One of Visa's core catalysts is shared with Berkshire Hathaway: the disproportionate nature of economic cycles. With periods of growth lasting considerably longer than downturns, Visa is able to benefit from consumers and businesses increasing their spending over time. Something else that helps set Visa apart within the financial sector is its general avoidance of lending. Though companies that choose to process payments and lend can double-dip during periods of growth, it also exposes these double dippers to credit delinquencies and loan losses during recessions and sluggish periods of economic expansion. With Visa shying away from lending, it doesn't have to worry about setting aside capital. In short, Visa bounces back from downturns quicker than most financial stocks. Arguably the biggest opportunity for Visa exists beyond domestic borders. Cross-border payment volume has been consistently growing by a double-digit percentage annually, which is reflective of how underbanked most emerging markets are. This is a company that has the cash flow and balance sheet to organically or acquisitively enter new markets and sustain a double-digit sales and earnings growth rate. The icing on the cake is that Visa dominates domestically. The roughly $6.45 trillion in credit card network purchasing volume it handled in 2023 is approximately $2.4 trillion more than its three closest competitors, combined. Visa's U.S. cash flow is rock-solid and predictable. Walmart The third non-tech stock with the tools and intangibles to fully leapfrog Nvidia's market cap by 2035 is retail powerhouse Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Walmart's $765 billion market cap leaves it about $2.7 trillion away from Nvidia as well. Walmart's easily identifiable competitive edge is its size. Its steady operating cash flow and deep pockets allow it to purchase products in bulk. When buying large quantities of goods, Walmart is able to negotiate a lower per-unit cost, which in turn allows it to undercut local stores and national grocers on price. Walmart offers a value proposition that speaks to consumers. But Walmart is also an innovator. Management has been aggressively investing in its online presence and ramping up its membership platform (Walmart+) in an effort to boost organic growth and its margins. During its fiscal first quarter (ended April 30), global e-commerce sales surged 22%, with U.S. e-commerce delivering its first quarter of profitability. Furthermore, membership income jumped by nearly 15%. Similar to Costco Wholesale 's membership model, membership fees flow to the bottom line and allow Walmart to be more aggressive with its pricing on traffic-driving goods. Accepting lower margins on select groceries gets consumers in its stores or locked within its ecosystem where they can make higher-margin discretionary purchases. Lastly, and to build on the point above, Walmart provides basic need goods, such as food, toiletries, and household cleaning products. It's going to draw consumers in any economic climate, and is fully capable of generating predictable cash flow year after year. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?
