Since the turn of the century, Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) has completely transformed itself from a gaming graphics card maker into the undisputed leader in AI computing. The company invented the graphics processing unit, or GPU, back in 1999, but it's CEO Jensen Huang's vision of accelerated computing that has positioned the company at the forefront of the AI revolution. Today, Nvidia's platform powers everything from gaming PCs to massive data centers, self-driving cars, and AI factories around the world. Every major cloud provider and AI company now relies on Nvidia's chips, software, and networking technologies. In fact, Nvidia's Data Center segment alone contributed $115.2 billion in revenue for fiscal 2025, up a mind-boggling 142% from the prior year. The company is also currently ramping up production of its next-generation Blackwell architecture chips, which are already seeing tremendous demand for AI training and inference. Overall, Nvidia reported staggering revenue of $130.5 billion in fiscal 2025, up 114% from the previous year, and is forecasting first quarter 2026 revenue of $43 billion, which would represent 10% growth over the most recent quarter. Even more impressive, the company generated over $60.7 billion in free cash flow in fiscal 2025 - a huge jump from $26.9 billion a year prior. With gross margins hovering around 75%, Nvidia's profitability puts most tech companies to shame. The stock was on a scorching hot streak until a few weeks ago, when it began to slide due to concerns about the tech sector and the economy. After hitting lows of about $10 in 2022, the stock rocketed more than 15-fold, but it's since fallen by nearly 25%. This massive surge followed by such an abrupt decline has many investors unsure of what to do next. Those on the outside looking in may wonder if they've missed the boat... while those who already own the stock might be thinking it's time to abandon ship.
