Nvidia‘s (NASDAQ: NVDA) dominance of the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market has helped it become the world’s most valuable company with a market cap of $4.32 trillion as of this writing. Importantly, Nvidia’s growth remains solid despite its huge revenue base.
The chipmaker should maintain its remarkable growth in the future as well, considering the incredible amount of money that’s expected to be spent on AI data centers over the next five years. Investor enthusiasm regarding Nvidia in the past three years has pushed its stock price higher and taken its valuation to premium levels.
Nvidia’s stock now trades at 47 times trailing earnings and 25 times sales. Though there is a good chance that Nvidia’s solid growth prospects justify that valuation, the company’s upside could be handicapped by the growing competition in the AI chip market as well as geopolitical factors such as tariffs and regulatory hurdles.
