Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has become an icon in the AI boom that we are witnessing and living today. Their AI chips’ market share has grown beyond 80%. Considering that their products were originally targeted at the gaming and graphics industry, the AI boom took them past the 1 trillion dollars valuation almost a year and a half ago. Only a year later they tripled their valuation to over 3 trillion dollars. Even with rising competition from Intel (INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Nvidia is still dominating the AI chips race. Nvidia’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang pledged that they will be introducing new AI chip every year instead of their previous schedule of new chip once every two years.

Should you still invest in Nvidia?

A company’s past performance shouldn’t be used as the sole indicator of its future performance. Do your own due diligence before picking individual stocks. Alternatively, you can invest in an ETF that follows the leading companies in AI as a safer bet on the future of AI.
