The surge in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks over the better part of the past two years has proven to be much more than just a momentary fad, but rather the start of a massive megatrend with implications for nearly every industry. This is just one report suggesting that the AI market is poised to reach a size of $2.74 trillion by 2032, displaying an incredible CAGR of 20.4% between 2024 and 2032 - and there are many more with similarly bullish projections.
And if there has been any stock that has been representative of the AI juggernaut, it's Santa Clara-based Nvidia (NVDA), the designer and seller of specialized GPUs. Up an eye-popping 2,848% over the past five years, the stock's stellar run has continued in 2024, rising 138.5% on a YTD basis. The stock also offers a modest dividend yield of 0.02%.
