Prediction: Buying Nvidia Today Will Set You Up for Life
Nvidia has seen huge recent success thanks to artificial intelligence. The chipmaker should grow sales rapidly for decades to come. A patient, long-term approach would serve investors best. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has already been one of the best long-term investments in history. Since 1999, shares of the chipmaker have increased in value by more than 340,000%. An original investment of just $3 would have turned into $1 million over that timeframe! But don't think the run is over. The next few decades should see the company grow its sales immensely, leading to big gains for patient investors. Here's why. Nvidia's business model sits at the very center of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Nearly all AI technologies require massive datasets and compute power to operate. Complex models crunch this data to provide relevant outputs for users. While some models can run locally, most popular models are run on the cloud, using distributed compute power that can scale up and down dynamically based on demand. What technologies make cloud computing infrastructure possible? Graphics processing units, more commonly referred to as GPUs. There is a wide variety of companies producing a wide variety of GPUs, each specialized for a different purpose. For a long time, Nvidia specialized in GPUs built for gaming environments. Next-gen gaming consoles and computers need vast amounts of graphics processing power. Specialized chips like Nvidia's allowed the industry to advance, creating better and more visually stunning games for users. Nvidia recognized the potential of AI before many of its competitors. It invested heavily to make sure its chips and software were able to support the small but promising industry. As The New York Times summarizes: Over more than 10 years, Nvidia has built a nearly impregnable lead in producing chips that can perform complex A.I. tasks like image, facial and speech recognition, as well as generating text for chatbots like ChatGPT. The onetime industry upstart achieved that dominance by recognizing the A.I. trend early, tailoring its chips to those tasks and then developing key pieces of software that aid in A.I. development. That software component is perhaps Nvidia's biggest secret weapon. Over the next decade, the AI market is predicted to grow from several hundred billion dollars in value to nearly $5 trillion. Competition for GPUs will surely heat up, but Nvidia's software has created a sort of lock-in for customers. Scores of AI applications have been built around Nvidia's hardware, and developers have been using its software for years to customize these chips to their exact specifications. Even if its hardware loses its performance edge, this software lock-in should give Nvidia heavy market share for decades to come, not to mention the reputation and capital necessary to continue improving its hardware or purchasing promising upstarts. Trading at 25 times sales, Nvidia stock is far from cheap. But in 2021, shares also traded at roughly 25 times sales, and yet shares have increased in value by nearly 800% since then. Now that it's a $3.3 trillion business, many argue that Nvidia will face steeper hurdles to fast growth. The law of large numbers may prove this true. After all, it's easier to double in size as a $200 billion company than as a $2 trillion one. But Nvidia has a stranglehold on its market, with some estimates pegging it with a 90% market share for AI GPUs. Meanwhile, the AI market is taking off, and Nvidia's software edge gives it a front-row seat to this growth over the long term. High-multiple stocks like this can display extreme volatility from year to year. But if you maintain an investing horizon of a decade or more, Nvidia shares can help you turn small amounts into millions of dollars through the magic of compound interest. Just remember: The AI revolution is a multi-decade story, and Nvidia's high upfront premium may take years to fully justify. But buying high-quality companies with durable competitive advantages operating in long-term growth markets is rarely a poor decision. Just make sure your investing horizon is long enough to fully digest Nvidia's pricey upfront valuation. Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn't one of them.

Viatris Deadline Today: Rosen Law Firm Urges Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS) Stockholders With Large Losses to Contact the Firm for Information About Their Rights
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of purchasers of Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS) securities between August 8, 2024 and February 26, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'). Viatris describes itself as a 'global healthcare company, which engages in the provision of healthcare and pharmaceutical products.' For more information, submit a form, email attorney Phillip Kim, or give us a call at 866-767-3653. The Allegations: Rosen Law Firm is Investigating the Allegations that Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS) Misled Investors Regarding its Business Operations. According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants provided investors with material information concerning the failed inspection of Viatris' Indore, India facility. Defendants' statements, albeit made months after the initial inspection and Defendants' initiation of remediation efforts included, among other things, the disclosure of the FDA's issuance of a warning letter and import alert which would prevent Viatris from shipping eleven products from the Indore facility, though four of such were exempt from the limitations (the 'Warning Letter'). Defendants routinely referred to the impact of the Warning Letter as a mere 'minor headwind' for Viatris. Further, defendants provided these disclosures to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state impact of the Warning Letter on Viatris' financials. Notably, defendants did not disclose precisely when the inspection occurred, how long the remediation efforts had been implemented, or the financial impact of the existing and continued remediation efforts. Defendants further notably failed to disclose which products were subject to the FDA Warning Letter, which products were subject to exemptions, and the significance of the restricted products with respect to Viatris' existing financials and future projections, and for which Viatris believed it would obtain exemptions. Such statements, absent these material facts, caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Viatris' securities at artificially inflated prices. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. What Now: You may be eligible to participate in the class action against Viatris Inc. Shareholders who want to serve as lead plaintiff for the class must file their motions with the court by June 3, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. For more information, click here. All representation is on a contingency fee basis. Shareholders pay no fees or expenses.

Rosen Law Firm is a recognized leader in shareholder rights litigation, dedicated to helping shareholders recover losses, improving corporate governance structures, and holding company executives accountable for their wrongdoing. Since its inception, Rosen Law Firm has obtained over $1 billion for shareholders. Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Why Constellation's News Drove Fluor, Centrus, and Vistra Stocks Higher
Constellation Energy just signed a 20-year deal to provide nuclear power to Meta Platforms. The company's Clinton Clean Energy Center nuclear power plant in Illinois will supply as much as 1.1 GW of nuclear energy to Meta. Investors are flocking to nuclear stocks today -- but they seem to have dropped Constellation stock like a hot rock. 10 stocks we like better than Constellation Energy › I assume you've heard the news by now? Nine months after announcing plans to restart Three Mile Island Unit 1 and use it to provide nuclear power to Microsoft server farms, Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG) is doing it again -- announcing it's signed a similar deal with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). Investors reacted immediately, bidding up Constellation shares as much as 15% pre-market open today (although the stock has given back its gains, and is now flat against yesterday's close). In contrast, all sorts of other nuclear stocks are surging today. Constellation rival Vistra (NYSE: VST) gained 4.4% through 11:10 a.m. ET today. Nuclear plant construction firm Fluor (NYSE: FLR) stock is up 5.1%. And uranium fuel enricher Centrus Energy (NYSEMKT: LEU) is doing best of all -- up 7.1%! Constellation described its latest nuclear power deal in a press release this morning. Instead of 3 Mile Island, the company will use its Clinton Clean Energy Center (CCEC) nuclear power plant in Illinois to provide power to Meta's server farms. Beginning in June 2027 and extending out 20 years, the company will provide 1,121 megawatts (more than 1.1 gigawatts) of clean nuclear energy to Meta. The deal will support Constellation's plans to increase power output at CCEC by 30 megawatts. It will also extend the service life of the CCEC nuclear plant, which was first slated to close in 2017, and then had its lifespan prolonged through mid-2027, well into the 2040s. Furthermore, Constellation noted that if power demand justifies it, the company might "extend the plant's existing early site permit or seek a new construction permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to pursue development of an advanced nuclear reactor or small modular reactor (SMR) at the Clinton Clean Energy Center site." So you can see why investors were so happy about Constellation's news this morning. For Constellation itself, the plan promises to leverage an existing investment and decades of sunk costs, to earn at least another 22 years' worth of profits for its shareholders. (For context, Constellation earned $3.7 billion from its power business last year.) But the news has broader implications for the nuclear power industry as well. Earlier this year, as you may recall, nuclear stock investors got something of a shock when it was reported that Microsoft might be hedging its bets on future demand for artificial intelligence (AI) services, and for the kind of power agreements it signed with Constellation to support them. Microsoft was reported to have canceled "a couple of hundred MWs" worth of data center leases in the United States, and to have "pulled back" on projects to lease new data center space. Granted, one theory behind the pullback was that Microsoft wasn't able to find enough power for new data centers. But a secondary theory -- one concerning to nuclear investors -- was that Microsoft might not see enough future demand for AI to justify buying additional power even if it is available. Today's power supply agreement between Meta and Constellation, however, would appear to allay those concerns somewhat. Maybe Microsoft doesn't see a need for a lot of additional nuclear power, beyond what it's already contracted for. But Meta definitely does, and has just signed up to pay for it. Now investors have to figure out how to react to this good news. Should you do that by buying Fluor stock, which helps build nuclear power plants? Or perhaps Centrus, which helps fuel them? Or is Vistra the better buy, as a direct competitor to Constellation and a presumed beneficiary of any trends that bolster Constellation? That's not quite as easy a question to answer as it should be, however. At first glance, Fluor stock looks like the obvious buy. Priced under 4 (!) times earnings, Fluor stock certainly looks a lot cheaper than Centrus stock, which costs more than 19 times earnings, or Vistra, which costs more than 26.5 times earnings. Fluor's earnings are currently inflated by one-time accounting gains related to its NuScale subsidiary, however. Once those gains roll off the back end next year, though, the stock's valuation will rise to a more reasonable-looking 17.5 times forward earnings. If you're contemplating an investment in Fluor, make sure to focus on that number. Vistra stock, meanwhile, only recently turned profitable again. But it's growing like wildfire, earning $1.5 billion in 2023 and $2.6 billion in 2024 -- and expected to keep growing earnings in excess of 20% annually over the next five years. Vistra's dividend yield is tiny, only 0.5%, and its debt load is large. Still, I have a hunch it will make for a simpler investment than Fluor. But Centrus is the investment that intrigues me most. Valued at just a $2.1 billion in market cap, Centrus has arguably the best growth prospects ahead of it as nuclear power becomes more popular. Profitable and with earnings expected to roughly double over the next four years, to more than $8 a share, resulting in about a 25% growth rate, tiny Centrus Energy just might be your best nuclear bet.
