Nvidia’s Meteoric Rise: A $10,000 Investment Five Years Ago Would Now Be Worth $144,080
Nvidia (NVDA) has cemented its position as the world's most valuable company, boasting a market capitalization exceeding $4.32 trillion as of September 11. The chipmaker's relentless ascent has left long-term investors reaping monumental gains. A $10,000 investment in September 2020 WOULD now be valued at $144,080—a staggering 1,340% return.
The company's dominance stems from insatiable demand for its data center GPUs, the backbone of AI infrastructure. Revenue surged twelvefold between Q2 2021 and Q2 2026, with analysts projecting 35% annual growth through 2028. While such explosive performance raises questions about valuation, Nvidia continues to defy expectations as AI adoption accelerates.
