I think one of the biggest steals in the market today is hidden in plain sight: Nvidia (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/nvda\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NVDA<\/a> 2.84%).<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia is the world&#8217;s largest company by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/m\/market-cap\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">market cap<\/a>, so how is it a steal?<\/p>\n<p>It all comes down to the growth Nvidia expects in 2026 and beyond, and if the market priced that growth into the stock, it would be trading for much more than it actually is.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Stock analyst looking at chart of a stock projected on a glass wall.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770077050_32_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia is capitalizing on massive AI growth<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia makes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/g\/gpu\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">graphics processing units (GPUs)<\/a>, which were originally developed to process gaming graphics.
