Prediction: Nvidia Will Soar Over the Next 5 Years. Here's 1 Reason Why.
Nvidia (NVDA) has seen a remarkable 1,500% increase in stock value over the past five years, driven by the booming AI market. As the leader in GPU technology, Nvidia is essential for major companies like Amazon and Microsoft, which rely on its chips for AI advancements. The AI market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 26.6% over the next five years, suggesting potential for Nvidia's revenue to triple, even if its price-to-sales ratio declines. Investors may see significant gains in the coming years.
Nvidia (NVDA -0.12%) has been that rare stock that has catapulted investors to millionaire status on its own. But up more than 1,500% over the past five years, and with a $4 trillion market cap, can it really still offer growth for investors?
It can. Here's why.

The age of AI
All signs are that artificial intelligence (AI) will continue to drive innovation over the next few years as more businesses see how it can help them succeed and grow. As there's greater development in AI, it becomes cheaper and more abundant, and companies that aren't using it to become more efficient and user-friendly are losing out.
Nvidia is the leader in the graphics processing units (GPU) that power these trends, with an overwhelming amount of market share. The AI market is growing at a fast pace, and the major players, like Amazon and Microsoft, need Nvidia's powerful chips to drive their efforts. Even companies like Amazon that are creating their own chips to offer more budget-conscious options still partner with Nvidia for their larger clients' needs.
According to Statista, the AI market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.6% over the next five years. That's slower than Nvidia's current revenue growth. If you can imagine Nvidia keeping up such a CAGR for its own sales, keeping its price-to-sales ratio constant, that would lead to its stock price nearly tripling.
Even if the price-to-sales ratio decreases, there could be some serious gains ahead for Nvidia investors over the next five years and beyond.
