  • Why Nvidia Stock Appears Cheap Despite Strong Earnings Growth
    June 25, 2026, 10:51 PM EDT. Nvidia's stock has gained over 1,000% since late 2022 amid surging demand for its AI-focused GPUs, making it the world's most valuable company with a market cap near $5 trillion. Yet, in 2026, investors have shifted to other chipmakers like Intel and Micron, leaving Nvidia's shares up just 4% year-to-date, underperforming sector ETFs. Despite the stock slump, Nvidia posted an 85% revenue increase to $81.6 billion and a 139% jump in adjusted net income in Q1. With a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 33, higher than the S&P 500's 26, the company looks affordable when factoring in expected earnings growth that could triple by 2029, implying a forward P/E of just 12-unusually low for such rapid expansion.
