Nvidia (NVDA) has been among the hottest tech stocks in the world in the past year, as analysts are extremely bullish on the artificial intelligence (AI) megatrend. A semiconductor giant, Nvidia designs and sells chips used to run the data centers that power AI models, such as ChatGPT.
Due to a massive surge in demand for these specialized chips, Nvidia increased its revenue from $26.9 billion in fiscal 2023 to $60.9 billion in fiscal 2024 (which ended in January). Its asset-light model also meant Nvidia could more than triple its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) in the last four quarters.
