10 Hottest Mega-Cap Stocks of 2025

3. Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)

Nvidia is on course to become the most valued company by market cap. While there are multiple ways to determine the financial value of a company, it is hard to determine the impact value that a company like Nvidia commands. Nvidia makes the best GPUs in the world. Its stock tripled in 2024 because of this simple reason.

These GPUs weren’t originally designed for AI tasks though. They served multiple purposes, which also happened to include a vital role in Large Language Models training. This year, Nvidia will roll out its Blackwell line of GPUs. These are extremely powerful GPUs that have been designed to keep AI demands in mind. Being the first of their kind, they’ll determine Nvidia stock’s direction this year.

Much of the impact is already priced into the stock. However, the company is still valued cheaper than its competitors by one metric. Moreover, it could potentially branch out to other sources of revenue, including building its own cloud business and robotics. These possibilities will keep the stock relevant throughout the year, not that its core chip business was any less significant.

Analysts are also bullish on the stock, with Bank of America recently revealing that it was the most widely owned company among US fund managers. Nvidia also attracted record retail investors’ funds in 2024 and was the most sought after stock by this investor group. The story is unlikely to change in 2025.
