We recently published a list of 10 AI Stocks Dominating the News This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands against other AI stocks dominating the news this week.
Elon Musk and OpenAI have jointly proposed to fast-track their trial over OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit company in December. According to OpenAI, the transition toward a for-profit company is crucial to staying ahead in the AI race and raising more capital in the process. Regardless of the shift, Bloomberg News has reported that the company is not expecting its cash flow to turn positive until 2029.

The report has confirmed that the company expects revenue to triple to $12.7 billion in 2025. However, it is struggling with significant costs from chips, data centers, and talent needed to develop cutting-edge AI systems, which is why cash flow may not turn positive until after a few years. The company expects its revenue to surpass $125 billion by this time. As of 2025, the company said its revenue will triple due to the strength of its paid AI software.
Reuters further noted that the company must transition to a for-profit company by the end of the year to secure the full $40 billion funding led by SoftBank, which is in the final stages of raising. If OpenAI fails to restructure into a for-profit company by the end of the year, the bank may invest only $20 billion instead. The ChatGPT maker was originally given a two-year deadline, with the news marking an accelerated deadline.
Provided it successfully completes its $40 billion funding round, it would be the largest of all time, according to data compiled by research firm PitchBook. The deal would set to value the company at $300 billion, including dollars raised. This is more than double the ChatGPT maker’s previous valuation of $157 billion back in October. A part of this funding is anticipated to be used for OpenAI’s commitment to Stargate, an AI infrastructure project announced by President Donald Trump.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) specializes in AI-driven solutions, offering platforms for data centers, self-driving cars, robotics, and cloud services. One of the most notable analyst calls on Thursday, March 28, was for Nvidia Corporation. Bank of America reiterated the stock as “Buy”, stating that its shares are “compelling.” The firm, which has a price target of $200 a share, is optimistic on the stock despite the US government’s “AI Diffusion Rules” introduced to control the distribution of AI chips outside a core group of countries.
“Once the geopolitical concerns are sized and priced, we expect NVDA to recover, much like the relative recovery we have seen in semicap stocks this year once China exposure was reflected in wafer fab equipment spending…Meanwhile, we believe the stock is providing a particularly attractive opportunity for one of the most unique, high-quality tech franchises leading the largest and fastest growing secular trends.”
Overall, NVDA ranks 5th on our list of AI stocks dominating the news this week. While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
