Best GPU Stocks for 2025

By Keith Noonan – Updated Oct 30, 2025 at 5:51 PM | Fact-checked by Frank Bass

Key Points

Demand for artificial intelligence is boosting GPU stocks.
Nvidia is the leader in the field, with significant sales growth and market dominance.
Diversification plays include ETFs like VanEck Semiconductor.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and GPU stocks are a great way to invest in the transformative technology. GPUs, or graphics processing units, were introduced decades ago to handle the computationally intensive task of putting graphics on a computer screen. The math necessary to calculate the color of millions of pixels can quickly overwhelm a CPU, or central processing unit. GPUs are designed to do these calculations in parallel, using hardware designed for the task.

The number crunching that must be done to train and use AI models can also be accelerated with GPUs. While gaming remains a key growth driver for the industry, AI may end up being more important in the long run.
