There appears to be no stopping Nvidia (NVDA). After skeptics raised concerns about elevated valuations and Chinese startup DeepSeek at the start of the year, Nvidia's shares have climbed those walls of worry to not only become the most valuable company in the world with a market cap of $4.5 trillion, but NVDA stock is also up 40.7% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, marking another period of outperformance when compared to the S&P 500 ($SPX).
