As a leading chip maker (not the potato kind), Nvidia’s components are a key tool used for AI, meaning that most big tech companies rely on its technology. As a key player in the AI space, the uptick in this area has led to a massive increase for Nvidia’s stock price, making it one of the most valuable companies in the world with a multi-trillion dollar valuation.
Buying Nvidia shares has been likened to owning shovels in an AI gold rush. However, it remains a volatile stock despite its monstrous valuation because it's priced for perfection, for example, Nvidia's stock experienced the largest single-day drop in stock market history in January 2025, plummeting $600 billion (about £475 billion) in response to the soaring popularity of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI rival, building LLM models cheap as chips.
The whole process can take as little as 15 minutes. You'll need a smartphone or computer, an internet connection, your passport or driving licence and a means of payment.
November 19, 2025: Nvidia dished up Wall-St-expectation-beating numbers on Wednesday, quelling fears of an AI bubble on the verge of bursting. Sales were up a whopping 62% YoY to $57b, against earlier hopes of $55b. Shares in tech stocks including Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and Google were bolstered by the news.
October 29, 2025: A raft of product-update announcements at a GTC event in Washington DC drove Nvidia's stock price up 5% on Tuesday.
October 28, 2025: Long-awaited signs of a US-China trade truce and easing supply-chain risks are delighting investors, even if there are still plenty of unanswered questions. Trump will meet Xi on Thursday in Busan, South Korea where the deal is expected to be formalised. The US is likely to pause its scheduled next round of tariff increases on Chinese imports, while China is likely to pause planned export restrictions and restart buying US soybeans.
October 6, 2025: OpenAI and AMD announced a "strategic partnership" that will see OpenAI deploy 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs over a number of years. Tied into the deal, OpenAI gets options for 160m AMD shares (vesting in line with GPU deployments), meaning Open AI will likely become a major stakeholder in AMD. Rival chipmaker Nvidia saw its stock price fall almost 2% on the news.

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, let alone a "Magnificent 7" stock, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the NVIDIA P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
NVIDIA's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 53x. In other words, NVIDIA's shares trade at around 53x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, NVIDIA's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
NVIDIA's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.8042. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into NVIDIA's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider NVIDIA's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
NVIDIA's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $98.3 billion (£74.4 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of NVIDIA's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
