Nvidia has major short-term upside
Nvidia has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence build-out, as its graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the industry’s top choice. This has allowed the company to grow as quickly as the AI space in general, and there are not many signs of it slowing down. During Nvidia’s most recent quarter, it posted year-over-year revenue growth of 106%, accelerating after slowing in 2025.

While management forecasts growth to slow next year, it isn’t by much. For the next fiscal year, the company projects 70% growth — an incredible figure, considering Nvidia is worth more than $5 trillion. What’s even more amazing about this statement is that none of it has been priced into Nvidia’s stock. For nearly every other company, if management tells you they will grow by 70% over the next year, the stock shoots up in response, pricing in a lot of that success. However, that’s not the case with Nvidia.
