NVIDIA’s stock just entered an impressive new category. But is it actually a good thing?

So, US-based chip manufacturer NVIDIA has seen massive growth over the last five years.  The stock’s price climbed a whopping 1200% during that time. NVIDIA designs and programs chips that power artificial intelligence, gaming, and data centres.  So with the explosion of those industries recently, it’s no surprise the company and by extension the stock is doing so well.

Nvidia’s growth has been so impressive that it now makes up about 8% of the S&P 500. That is the biggest share of any single stock in the index. The S&P 500 is made up of 500 of the largest companies in the United States.

Now this is overall very good news, especially if you were an early investor. But all this success brings up an important question- how high is NVIDIA’s ceiling?

Founder of Wealth Watch JA, Julian Morrison, said investors might need to start considering stepping back from the stock. 

He explained that NVIDIA’s stock has gone up so fast that there might not be as much room to grow. And when stocks climb too quickly, the fall can be sudden and swift.

A drop in NVIDIA could pull down the entire S&P 500 because the company is now such a big part of it. 

Now, Julian was clear that he doesn’t think NVIDIA is going anywhere. It’s more about diversifying your portfolio so it doesn’t rely too much on one stock.

He also gave some options for other companies that are similar to NVIDIA like AMD and Texas Instruments. 

Texas Instruments is known for making calculators, but it also makes chips for weapons and defence systems.
