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.
July 9, 2025: Nvidia has become the first company on the stock market to achieve a market cap of $4 trillion after its share price increased by more than 2% at the market open on Wall Street.
June 30, 2025: In the last 12 months, Nvidia insiders have sold more than $1 billion of their shares; over $500 million being sold throughout this month alone.
June 26, 2025: Nvidia stock hits a record high of $154. Nvidia last hit a record close of $149 on January 6th. Global events caused it to struggle in the months after. However, since the company announced a trade deal in the Middle East and reported its first quarter earnings in late May, there has been a steady rise in stock price.
June 11, 2025: Quantum computing stocks surged in early trading Wednesday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made bullish comments about the technology at the chipmaker's GTC Paris developer conference, according to Yahoo Finance.
May 29, 2025: Shortly after the US market close, Nvidia released its latest quarterly earnings report, beating expectations with revenue of $44.06 billion and earning per share (EPS) of $0.96. The headline figure from the report was the big jump in its data centre arm of the business, which grew 73% year-on-year. The blockbuster chipmaker also said guidance would be about $8 billion higher if not for restrictions around trade with China.

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 56x. In other words, NVIDIA's shares trade at around 56x 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 2.1165. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in 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 $88.2 billion (£65.8 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.
