Nvidia has dominated the AI narrative in the stock market, captivating investors and the media after soaring 2,190% over the past five years and becoming the most valuable company

It’s been a record-breaking year for artificial intelligence darling Nvidia’s stock, with analysts overwhelmingly bullish about the year to come.

Palantir is a “rare cult with no sex and very little drugs and we’re not poisoning anyone,” quipped its billionaire CEO in a recent sitdown.

Nvidia is one of the most popular AI stocks right now because of its lead in the semiconductor space. The company's graphics processing units (GPUs) have been used in data centers for years, and once tech giants began competing for generative AI dominance, the chips were even more in demand.

The competition for leadership in the AI chip market is intensifying, with Broadcom Inc. positioning itself as a formidable challenger to Nvidia Corporation in the years ahead.
