Nvidia's (NVDA) stock performance this year may not look exceptional at first glance, but shares have outperformed the broader market. NVDA stock has gained 24% year-to-date (YTD), compared with a 12% YTD increase for the S&P 500 ($SPX).
Looking ahead, Nvidia is well-positioned to continue beating the broader market. Demand for its GPUs and CPUs powering artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure remains solid, suggesting earnings will expand rapidly in the medium term. At the same time, Nvidia's valuation still looks compelling.
