Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) dominance in artificial intelligence has delivered massive returns for early investors.
With demand for AI computing continuing to drive growth, the stock could offer further opportunities for investors seeking to build million-dollar portfolios over the next year.
However, reaching $1 million by October 2027 will depend on the initial investment and NVDA’s share-price performance. Reinvested dividends could add to returns, although Nvidia’s low yield makes capital appreciation the primary driver.
At Nvidia’s last closing price of $229, an investor would need approximately 4,367 shares to build a $1 million portfolio. Buying that position would cost about $1 million, meaning investors starting with less capital would need substantial gains or regular contributions to reach the target.
A rally would reduce the number of shares required. In this case, at $300, approximately 3,334 shares would be worth $1 million.
At $350, investors would need 2,858 shares, while at $400, they would need 2,500. If NVDA reaches $500, 2,000 shares would be worth $1 million.
It’s worth noting that a $1 million portfolio is different from $1 million in profit. Growing a $900,000 investment to $1 million, for example, generates a $100,000 gain before fees and taxes.
Nvidia’s AI business could support further gains, but reaching the target with fewer shares is not guaranteed.
