In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), one company has emerged as the standout performer after splitting its stock this year: Nvidia. This article delves into the factors contributing to Nvidia's remarkable stock growth and its potential for further upside.

Nvidia's market dominance in AI accelerators has been a significant driver of its stock performance. With over 80% market share in AI accelerators, the company's graphics processing units (GPUs) power the most advanced AI systems. This leadership is reinforced by CUDA, a robust ecosystem of software tools that enables developers to write GPU-accelerated applications across various domains.


Nvidia's full-stack computing platform, spanning hardware, software, and services, has also played a crucial role in driving its stock performance. The acquisition of networking specialist Mellanox in 2019 has secured Nvidia's leadership position in generative AI networking equipment, according to Morningstar. Additionally, Nvidia's software and services business is expected to reach a $2 billion revenue run rate this year.


Nvidia's stock split, a 10-for-1 forward split completed in June, has further fueled investor enthusiasm. Analyst Hans Mosesmann of Rosenblatt Securities forecasts Nvidia reaching $200 per share, which would represent a 45% return from its closing price on Oct. 14 and make Nvidia a roughly $5 trillion business.

However, it is essential to consider potential challenges that could impact Nvidia's future growth. No game-changing innovation has avoided a bubble-bursting event early in its expansion. Additionally, internal competition is picking up, with Nvidia's four-largest customers developing AI-GPUs of their own, which may limit future order opportunities for Nvidia's hardware.

In conclusion, Nvidia's AI stock split has positioned the company as the best-performing AI company of 2024. Its market dominance, full-stack computing platform, and software ecosystem have driven remarkable stock growth. While challenges may lie ahead, Nvidia's potential for further upside remains substantial, making it an attractive investment opportunity for risk-tolerant investors.
