In contrast, while Apple and Microsoft have their own catalysts, such as the iPhone 16 with Apple Intelligence and the demand for Azure cloud computing, I don't believe these opportunities offer the same potential as what Blackwell could mean for Nvidia. What potential does this suggest for Nvidia investors? Currently, Nvidia's market cap is around $3. 3 trillion. To hit the $4 trillion mark, Nvidia's value needs to rise by about 21%. Although such growth is attainable, it's key to remember that Nvidia executed a 10-for-1 stock split earlier in 2024. With a tenfold increase in outstanding shares, it's unlikely Nvidia stock will gain 20% in just a few trading days. For Nvidia shares to climb by another 20% or more, the company must show consistent growth, particularly in Blackwell and its data center business. As a result, I expect smaller, incremental stock movements throughout 2025 as more details on Blackwell become available. Should you invest $1, 000 in Nvidia right now?
