After decades of impatient waiting by investors, the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) looks to have an equally big impact on corporate growth.<\/p>\n<p>While a laundry list of companies in and out of the tech sector has benefited from the rise of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/ai-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">artificial intelligence<\/a>, it&#8217;s Nvidia (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/nvda\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NVDA<\/a> 0.89%) that stands atop the pedestal as its No. 1 winner. Nvidia&#8217;s graphics processing units (GPUs) hold a virtual monopoly in AI-accelerated data centers, and its hardware, thus far, has been virtually unrivaled in compute capabilities. Its parabolic sales and profit growth explain how it rallied from a $360 billion market cap at the end of 2022 to north of $4 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2026\/03\/11\/nvidia-630-billion-warning-reverberate-wall-street\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">even Wall Street&#8217;s most influential businesses contend with challenges<\/a>. Although the future for AI hardware and applications remains bright, a pathway exists for Nvidia stock to do the unthinkable: lose over 50% of its value, relative to its all-time closing high, and fall to $100.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"A visibly worried investor looking at a rapidly rising then plunging stock chart displayed on a tablet.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"584\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775140331_259_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n<p>Four collective catalysts can pull the rug out from beneath Nvidia stock<\/p>\n<p>With the understanding that skeptics have been absolutely steamrolled by Nvidia over the last three years, the puzzle pieces appear to be falling into place for those who&#8217;ve questioned its parabolic ascent.<\/p>\n<p>To begin with, every game-changing technology for the last 30-plus years has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2025\/12\/04\/prediction-ai-bubble-will-burst-in-2026-heres-why\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">endured an early stage bubble that eventually burst<\/a>. These bubbles form because investors overestimate the adoption and\/or optimization of new technologies. While Nvidia&#8217;s GPU sales show there&#8217;s no issue with adoption, it&#8217;ll likely take years before AI solutions are optimized for businesses. In other words, nothing points to AI escaping an eventual bubble-bursting event.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2026\/02\/03\/nvidia-big-risk-isnt-broadcom-amd-more-near-dear\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nvidia won&#8217;t be the only show in town<\/a>. Although its GPUs have proved superior on a compute basis, several of the company&#8217;s top customers by net sales are developing chips for their AI data centers. Even though these AI chips aren&#8217;t on par with Nvidia&#8217;s, they&#8217;re considerably cheaper and more readily accessible. The potential loss of data center real estate can work against the GPU scarcity that&#8217;s helped fuel Nvidia&#8217;s pricing power and gross margin.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Nvidia Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775140331_480_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(-0.89%) $-1.57<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$174.18<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$4.3T<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$171.38 &#8211; $175.10<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$86.62 &#8211; $212.19<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>1.6M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>181M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>71.07%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>0.02%<\/p>\n<p>President Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/research\/tariff-and-trade-tracker\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tariff and trade policy<\/a> can also help drive Nvidia stock to $100. Since Trump unveiled his tariff policy one year ago, trade tensions between the U.S. and the world&#8217;s No. 2 economy, China, have been heightened. China hasn&#8217;t purchased a single H200 AI GPU, putting a near-term ceiling on Nvidia&#8217;s sales and profit potential. <\/p>\n<p>Fourthly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2026\/01\/10\/stock-market-3-times-155-years-history-what-next\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stock market entered 2026 at its second-priciest valuation over the last 155 years<\/a>, according to the Shiller Price-to-Earnings (P\/E) Ratio. Nvidia&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/p\/price-to-sales-ratio-value-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">price-to-sales ratio<\/a> has also tipped the scales at levels that historically coincide with bubbles. The five previous times the Shiller P\/E surpassed 30 since January 1871 were eventually followed by declines of at least 20% in one or more of Wall Street&#8217;s major stock indexes. <\/p>\n<p>While Nvidia&#8217;s spot atop the AI GPU pedestal is no danger of being taken, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2025\/12\/02\/is-nvidia-plunge-50-history-very-clear-answer\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">parabolic ascent of its stock may be no match for historical precedent<\/a>. If history rhymes, once again, shares of Nvidia could tumble to $100 before the end of 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three decades ago, the advent and proliferation of the internet altered corporate America&#8217;s growth trajectory forever.
