  • Nvidia Outshines Alphabet as Top AI Stock Ahead of SpaceX's $1.75 Trillion IPO
    April 28, 2026, 9:53 PM EDT. As SpaceX nears its estimated $1.75 trillion IPO, Nvidia and Alphabet, both leaders in artificial intelligence (AI), stand to benefit differently. Alphabet's early $1 billion investment in SpaceX could yield over $100 billion in paper gains, improving its balance sheet but without direct revenue integration. Meanwhile, Nvidia is advancing its AI hardware specifically for space applications, unveiling platforms like IGX Thor and Jetson Orin geared for orbital computing. These developments align with Nvidia's existing collaborations in SpaceX's AI infrastructure, including GPU use for xAI's AI model training. Nvidia's commitment to scale chip orders, confirmed by Elon Musk, signals ongoing operational integration. This positions Nvidia as the superior long-term AI stock, capitalizing not just on financial gains but on continual growth within the space exploration sector.
