Wall Street Favors Amazon Over Nvidia Among Trillion-Dollar Stocks
Only eight U.S.-listed companies currently boast market valuations exceeding $1 trillion. Nvidia leads the pack at $4.4 trillion, but Wall Street's median price target suggests just 4% upside from current levels. Microsoft and Apple follow with $3.9 trillion and $3 trillion valuations respectively, both carrying 18% projected upside.
Amazon emerges as the standout, with analysts forecasting 24% growth potential from its $2.2 trillion base. The e-commerce giant's diversified cloud computing and retail operations appear more compelling to institutional investors than Nvidia's AI-focused chip dominance. Other tech titans like Alphabet and Meta Platforms show more modest 12-15% expected returns.
Taiwan Semiconductor rounds out the trillion-dollar club at $1.2 trillion, with Broadcom being the only member showing nearly flat growth expectations. This valuation snapshot reveals Wall Street's current preference for diversified tech platforms over semiconductor pure-plays, despite AI's market dominance in 2023 narratives.
