Should You Invest $10,000 in Nvidia Stock Right Now?
A significant portion of data center spending is allocated to equipping them with Nvidia GPUs.
10 stocks we like better than Nvidia ›
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been an excellent stock to own over the past few years, as the company has gained the status of having the largest market capitalization in the world. However, given the stock's impressive performance, many investors are likely wondering if there's still room for Nvidia to run. After all, the stock has risen by around 1,000% since the start of 2023.
Is investing $10,000 in Nvidia right now a waste of money? Or is it a brilliant investment decision? I think the answer is clear, and there's one long-term trend that guides that conclusion.
Nvidia manufactures graphics processing units (GPUs), which are specialized computing devices that can perform multiple calculations in parallel. GPUs were originally designed to process gaming graphics -- some of the most arduous workloads computers saw almost three decades ago. They excelled in this area, but quickly found other uses such as engineering simulations, cryptocurrency mining, and drug discovery. Still, their biggest use case has just emerged: AI training.
GPUs can handle a wide range of workloads and process them efficiently, making them ideal for feeding various datasets to train an AI model. Additionally, GPUs can be connected in clusters to amplify computing power, a strategy that AI hyperscalers have taken to the extreme by building AI training clusters with 100,000 or more GPUs.
Nvidia dominates the GPU market with a 90% market share. This dominance has enabled it to charge a premium price for its product, resulting in profits that far outpace revenue growth.
This combination has enabled Nvidia's stock to soar since the AI revolution began in 2023. But is there more upside?
We've yet to scratch the surface of what an AI-first business environment looks like. As a result, the AI hyperscalers are building data centers at an unprecedented rate to meet the demand. Every AI hyperscaler has announced record capital expenditures for 2025, with most of that money being allocated to data centers. Although this spending may be earmarked for 2025, building a data center is a multiyear process, so we can expect record capital expenditures to continue for the next few years.
This directly aligns with a third-party market study that Nvidia cited during its 2025 GTC event, which projected global capital expenditures on data centers to rise from $400 billion in 2024 to $1 trillion by 2028. In 2024, Nvidia generated $115 billion in revenue from its data center division, which earns it a healthy slice of the data center capital expenditure pie.
If Nvidia can maintain its market share within the data center space, it could generate nearly $300 billion in revenue from data centers alone. Considering that Nvidia's trailing-12-month revenue total is just shy of $150 billion, this indicates a significant amount of upside remains in Nvidia's stock.
Although it has been a top performer for multiple years, Nvidia has earned that title. Additionally, there is plenty of growth left in the pipeline to continue fueling Nvidia's rise. While it is unlikely to return another 1,000% from here, I believe there is still sufficient growth potential in the data center space, allowing for market-beating returns to be achieved.

Barclays profit up 23% as Trump tariff turmoil lifts trading
By Lawrence White and Stefania Spezzati LONDON (Reuters) -Barclays first-half profit rose by a better-than-expected 23%, the British bank said on Tuesday, with its markets business reaping bumper returns from the frenzied trading activity sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump's trade tariffs. Pretax profit for the January-June period totalled 5.2 billion pounds ($6.94 billion), above analysts' average forecast of 4.96 billion pounds. The bank also announced a share buyback of 1 billion pounds and a half year dividend of 3 pence per share, equating to 1.4 billion pounds of total capital distributions to shareholders, up 21% from the year before. The earnings update from the Britain and U.S.-focused lender showed continued progress in its strategy to cut costs and prioritise spending on its domestic, retail and corporate focused unit above its investment bank. "We remain on track to achieve the objectives of our three-year plan, delivering structurally higher and more stable returns for our investors," CEO C. S. Venkatakrishnan said in the statement. The lender's investment bank nonetheless followed Wall Street peers in reporting a robust second quarter, as market turmoil led to increased trading activity in fixed income products and stocks in particular. Second-quarter income in the investment bank was 3.3 billion pounds, better than the 3 billion pounds forecast by analysts, thanks to strong gains in those trading businesses that offset a decline in fees from advising on deals.

Valuation Stalls the Bull Case: P&G Cut to Neutral by JPMorgan
The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) is one of the now. But not every analyst is ready to double down. On July 25, JPMorgan's Andrea Teixeira downgraded PG from Overweight to Neutral, cutting the price target from $178 to $170. The downgrade reflects weak category trends, limited margin upside, and lackluster revenue momentum. Teixeira noted that P&G's valuation already prices in its long-term strengths, leaving little near-term upside. Copyright: jetcityimage / 123RF Stock Photo This follows the company's announcement of a major restructuring plan involving the elimination of roughly 7,000 white-collar roles, about 6% of its global workforce, over the next two fiscal years. The move is aimed at flattening management layers, consolidating brand categories, and investing in automation and digital infrastructure. While the plan is expected to enhance long-term efficiency, analysts don't expect a near-term earnings boost, and the stock may remain rangebound until the benefits begin to materialize. Procter & Gamble is a consumer goods giant whose portfolio spans household staples like Tide, Pampers, Gillette, and Oral-B. Its defensive business model and pricing power have historically made it a safe haven during periods of geopolitical and economic instability, including trade wars. While we acknowledge the potential of PG as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
