If you’d bought this top AI stock<\/a> five years ago, here’s how much you’d have today.<\/p>\n Image source: Nvidia.<\/p>\n Nvidia’s monster gains are hard to fathom<\/p>\n Nvidia shares have produced a total return of 1,360% in the past five years (as of Jan. 16). This impressive gain would’ve turned a $1,000 starting capital outlay into $14,590 today. <\/p>\n The company has registered unbelievable growth as its customers rush to expand their AI capabilities, resulting in these hyperscalers<\/a> spending massive sums on Nvidia’s graphics processing units<\/a>. Revenue is projected to total $213.3 billion in fiscal 2026 (which ends in late January), according to consensus analyst views. This would be 63% higher than the figure reported the year before.<\/p>\n Today’s Change<\/p>\n (-0.29%) $-0.54<\/p>\n Current Price<\/p>\n $186.51<\/p>\n Key Data Points<\/p>\n Market Cap<\/p>\n $4.5T<\/p>\n Day’s Range<\/p>\n $186.30 – $190.43<\/p>\n 52wk Range<\/p>\n $86.62 – $212.19<\/p>\n Volume<\/p>\n 4.6M<\/p>\n Avg Vol<\/p>\n 183M<\/p>\n Gross Margin<\/p>\n 70.05%<\/p>\n Dividend Yield<\/p>\n 0.02%<\/p>\n Is this AI stock a buy in 2026?<\/p>\n It would be a flawed assumption to think that Nvidia shares were overvalued after such a superb performance. The stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio<\/a> of 24. That’s a nice entry point to add the business to your portfolio. Just don’t expect these incredible past gains to repeat over the next five years. <\/p>\n Neil Patel<\/a> has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.
