Will $50,000 Invested in Nvidia Stock Be Worth $1 Million in 10 Years?
Nvidia shares are up 850% since ChatGPT sparked the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, but most Wall Street analysts still recommend buying the stock. The company is the market leader in AI accelerator chips, but its true strength lies in vertical integration that spans hardware and software products. Seven stocks in the S&P 500 generated such colossal returns in the last decade that they would have turned $50,000 into $1 million. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been a cornerstone of the artificial intelligence (AI) trade for several years. Its share price has increased 850% since January 2023, a period that roughly coincides with the launch of ChatGPT. But Wall Street is still overwhelmingly bullish on the semiconductor company. Angelo Zino at CFRA Research thinks Nvidia "will be the most important company to our civilization over the next decade." More broadly, among 73 analysts following Nvidia, the median 12-month target price is $175 per share. That implies 25% upside from its current share price of $140. Could Nvidia stock turn $50,000 into $1 million over the next decade? Here are my thoughts. What sets Nvidia apart is vertical integration. The company has over 90% market share in data center graphics processing units (GPUs), chips that accelerate complex workloads such as artificial intelligence (AI). But the company supplements its GPUs with adjacent hardware like CPUs, interconnects, and networking equipment. Nvidia also develops software products. AI Enterprise is a suite of tools, code libraries, and pretrained models that streamline the development of AI applications for use cases like autonomous robots, conversational agents, and optimization systems. CrowdStrike uses those tools to power threat detection capabilities on its cybersecurity platform. Similarly, Omniverse is a software platform that supports 3D application development. It also serves as a simulation engine that lets engineers generate synthetic data for developing machine learning models. Amazon uses the Omniverse platform to optimize warehouse design and train fulfillment center robots. Nvidia frequently sets performance records at the MLPerf benchmarks, objective tests that evaluate AI systems on training and inference workloads. That is an important competitive advantage: Nvidia builds the best AI accelerators on the market. But vertical integration reinforces that advantage by letting the company design entire data center systems with the "lowest total cost of ownership," according to CEO Jensen Huang. Grand View Research says spending on AI hardware, software, and services will increase at 35.9% annually through 2030. Nvidia has a good shot at matching that growth rate. Indeed, Wall Street expects earnings to grow at 40% annually through the fiscal year ending January 2027. That makes the current valuation of 44 times earnings seem fair. Nvidia shares would need to increase 1,900% (20-fold) in the next decade to turn $50,000 into $1 million. Returns of that magnitude are theoretically possible in that time frame. In fact, seven stocks currently in S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) hit that mark in the last decade, as listed: Nvidia: +25,700% Advanced Micro Devices: +4,980% Axon Enterprise: +2,380% Texas Pacific Land: 2,110% Arista Networks: 1,950% Tesla: 1,920% Fair Isaac: 1,900% However, while 20-fold returns are theoretically possible, Nvidia has virtually no chance of hitting that mark in the next decade. The company is already worth $3.4 trillion, meaning its market value would hit $68 trillion if the stock increased 20 times. That seems highly unlikely when the entire S&P 500 is only worth $48 trillion today. Nevertheless, Nvidia is still a worthwhile investment. AI will likely be the most transformative technology in history, and the company is well positioned to benefit as demand for AI infrastructure increases. Potential catalysts include generative AI, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robots. Also, Nvidia has a burgeoning software business that may evolve into a significant source of revenue as those catalysts take shape.

Broadcom Sinks as CEO Becomes Defensive on AI Opportunity -- Should Investors Buy the Dip?
Broadcom shares fell despite another strong quarter of AI revenue growth. However, its CEO got defensive when asked about the AI market opportunity he touted only six months ago. Still, the company is only at the beginning of its custom AI chip opportunity. 10 stocks we like better than Broadcom › Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) once again reported robust artificial intelligence (AI) revenue growth in its fiscal second-quarter results released this week, with promises that the strong revenue growth would continue. The stock slipped despite an upbeat outlook, although it remains up more than 75% over the past year. Let's take a closer look at Broadcom's most recent results and the AI opportunity in front of it to see whether investors should buy this small dip. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan initially got investors excited back in December 2024 when he talked about the company having a $60 billion to $90 billion serviceable addressable market (SAM) opportunity in fiscal year 2027 with its three largest hyperscale (meaning they operate huge data centers) customers. However, when asked whether its SAM had increased, Tan told analysts he's "not playing the SAM game" and to "stop talking about SAM now." It was an unusual and defensive response from an executive who, only six months ago, was hyping Broadcom's SAM opportunity. However, Tan had said earlier that he anticipates Broadcom's current AI semiconductor revenue growth to sustain into fiscal 2026 after projecting it would grow by 60% to $5.1 billion in fiscal Q3. As one analyst on the call pointed out, that would imply $30 billion or more in AI semiconductor revenue in fiscal 2026. Much of Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue growth is currently coming from its networking portfolio, particularly Ethernet switches. The company said its AI networking revenue surged by 170% year over year and represented 40% of its AI revenue. Perhaps, the bigger opportunity, though, is in custom AI chips. The company stated that custom AI chip revenue rose by double digits in the quarter and that it expects demand in the back half of 2026 to accelerate as inference demand surges. This is most likely coming from Alphabet, which was Broadcom's first customer for custom AI chips. However, the company said it still expects its three largest custom chip customers to each deploy 1 million AI chip clusters in 2027, mostly for training foundational AI models. Turning to Broadcom's results, its overall revenue climbed 20% year over year to $15 billion in the quarter, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) soared 44% to $1.58 (adjusting for its prior 10-for-1 stock split). The results edged past analyst expectations for adjusted EPS of $1.56 on revenue of $14.99 billion, as compiled by LSEG. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), meanwhile, surged 67% year over year to $10 billion. AI-related revenue jumped 46% year over year to $4.4 billion. Total semiconductor solutions revenue rose 17% year over year to $8.4 billion, as the recovery in its non-AI chip revenue continues to be slow. Infrastructure software revenue, meanwhile, increased by 25% to $6.6 billion. The company credited the growth to strong sales of its VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) platform and the transition of customers to subscription models. Its VCF platform helps customers create hybrid and multicloud environments, giving them the flexibility to manage workloads across both public clouds and their own on-premise data centers. Approximately 87% of VMware's top 10,000 customers have now adopted its VCF platform. Broadcom continues to generate strong cash flow, with cash flow from operations coming in at nearly $6.6 billion and free cash flow of $6.4 billion. It ended the quarter with nearly $9.5 billion in cash and equivalents and $67.3 billion in debt after buying back $4.2 billion worth of shares in the quarter. Its debt is a result of its $69 billion acquisition of VMware in 2023. Looking ahead, Broadcom forecasts fiscal Q3 revenue to increase by 21% to $15.8 billion, with semiconductor revenue rising 25% to $9.1 billion and infrastructure software revenue increasing 16% to $6.7 billion. It expects adjusted EBITDA to be about 66% of revenue, or about $10.4 billion. Broadcom continues to see strong AI revenue growth, led by its networking portfolio. But the best opportunity may still be in front of the company, with its custom AI chips. Only Alphabet is truly ramped up, and it has a huge opportunity with other customers. Now, Tan's sudden reluctance to talk about Broadcom's AI semiconductor SAM is disappointing, and the extent to which China's ByteDance -- one of its suspected in-progress large AI chip customers -- and the new Chinese export controls might have on that is unknown. Still, he did not back down from the growth of the company's three large hyperscale customers or that they plan to each deploy 1 million AI chip clusters in 2027. He also still has Apple as well as other customers that aren't quite as far along, which should also power growth in later years. From a valuation perspective, Broadcom now trades at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of about 31.5, based on fiscal 2026 analyst estimates, and a price/earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG) of less than 0.4. Stocks with PEG ratios below 1 are generally considered undervalued. Given the growth opportunities still in front of it, I think investors can use this price dip to start building positions. The biggest risk would be a slowdown in spending on AI infrastructure, but we still appear to be in the early innings.
