As a leading chip maker (not the potato kind), Nvidia’s components are a key tool used for AI, meaning that most big tech companies rely on its technology. As a key player in the AI space, the uptick in this area has led to a massive increase for Nvidia’s stock price, making it one of the most valuable companies in the world with a multi-trillion dollar valuation.
Buying Nvidia shares has been likened to owning shovels in an AI gold rush. However, it remains a volatile stock despite its monstrous valuation because it's priced for perfection, for example, Nvidia's stock experienced the largest single-day drop in stock market history in January 2025, plummeting $600 billion (about £475 billion) in response to the soaring popularity of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI rival, building LLM models cheap as chips.
April 29, 2025: Nvidia stock fell just over 2% Monday following a report that Chinese tech giant Huawei is readying a new advanced AI chip in the wake of President Trump's export ban on Nvidia chips to China, according to Yahoo Finance.
April 16, 2025: While most of the focus recently has been on imports to the US, Nvidia stocks took a dive on Wednesday when the company announced it would be hit with $5.5b in costs after the US government tightened export rules to China.
April 12, 2025: US President Donald Trump announced a backdated exemption from crippling tariffs – to be granted to smartphones, computers, semiconductors, solar cells and selected other electronic devices. However uncertainty returned within a matter of days, when a Truth Social post from Trump said that these items were "just moving to a different tariff 'bucket.'"
April 11, 2025: Nvidia’s stock price has seen a significant increase of 13.61% over the past week, reflecting a positive sentiment in the market despite ongoing challenges, according to TipRanks.
April 3, 2025: Tech stocks including Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia reeled at the prospect of having to shoulder tariffs on hardware imported from places like Taiwan, China and Mexico. Apple manufactures most of its products in China, while Nvidia's chips are made in Taiwan before heading to assembly lines in Mexico. Happy Liberation Day guys!

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including NVIDIA), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
NVIDIA is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, let alone a "Magnificent 7" stock, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the NVIDIA P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
NVIDIA's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 38x. In other words, NVIDIA's shares trade at around 38x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, NVIDIA's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
NVIDIA's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5347. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into NVIDIA's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider NVIDIA's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
NVIDIA's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $83.3 billion (£62.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of NVIDIA's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
