Is Nvidia a good investment?

Nvidia has been an outstanding investment over the years. As of 2025, Nvidia had delivered a more than 72% average annual return to its investors over the last 10 years. That significantly outperformed the S&P 500 (11.3% average annual return). While past outperformance is no guarantee of future success, Nvidia is in an excellent position to continue producing outsize returns. It's a leader in making semiconductors for AI, which has become a major growth driver for the company.

Will Nvidia stock split?

Nvidia has completed seven stock splits in its history, with the last one (10-for-1) completed in 2024, when shares were about $1,200. Given the size and recency of its latest split, Nvidia likely won't complete another one any time soon.

What will Nvidia be worth in five years?

There are various opinions regarding what Nvidia will be worth in five years. In late 2025, the company had an astounding $4.05 trillion market cap. One analyst who follows the company believes it could be worth $10 trillion by 2030 or sooner. However, others are less optimistic. Another analyst pointed out that the company needed to grow its earnings at a 70% annual rate over the next five years, more than double the rate the analyst community expected, to justify its market value in late 2025. If the company can continue growing at a blistering pace, its value could double or triple over the next five years. However, if its growth slows, its stock could come back down to earth.

What is the stock price prediction for Nvidia in 2025?

The consensus 12-month price target among Wall Street analysts who follow the company is $181.27 per share. Analysts have a wide range of predictions, with the lowest target at around $100 a share and the highest at $250.

Nvidia's June 2024 stock split brought its share price from a pre-split level of more than $1,200 to around $120 a share (and it was around $125 a share in early October). That's a much more accessible level for investors. However, if the share price continues to rise, Nvidia might join the list of companies with an upcoming stock split once again.
