Oh, darling, Nvidia (NVDA) has become the talk of every cocktail party that fancies itself au courant. Artificial intelligence, you say? How modern. And yet, one cannot help but raise an eyebrow at the sheer theatricality of its stock market performance. The company’s growth rates are as dizzying as a debutante’s first waltz, and its profits ascend with all the grace of a society matron climbing a staircase-slowly, yes, but with undeniable purpose. Still, must we truly believe this particular crescendo will never falter?
If one had been so gauche as to invest a mere $100 in Nvidia 25 years ago, one would now possess what can only be described as an embarrassingly large sum. But let us not rush to congratulate ourselves too heartily; after all, hindsight is the champagne flute everyone insists on raising, even when the bubbles have long gone flat.
More Shares, Higher Prices-and Heavens, What Splendid Dividends!
Picture it: January 1999, when Nvidia made its grand entrance onto the public stage at a modest $12 per share. By June 2000, the stock had clambered to over $100, prompting its first stock split. Ah, those halcyon days before “AI” became the mantra of every tech enthusiast from Silicon Valley to Surrey. Back then, Nvidia was content charming investors with chips designed for video games-a pursuit both frivolous and delightful, much like attending a weekend house party where no one discusses their tax returns.
Since that time, dear reader, the company has executed five more stock splits, each one a reminder that multiplication is indeed possible-even in finance. Add to that a dividend so small it might require a magnifying glass to locate, and voilà: your original $100 investment blossoms into something north of $60,000. Isn’t it marvelous how numbers behave when left unattended?
And yet, if we narrow our gaze to the past three years alone, the spectacle becomes almost vulgar. A total return exceeding 900% transforms a humble $100 stake into a cool $1,000 or thereabouts. One wonders whether such figures are intended to impress or merely intimidate. Surely, there comes a point when enough is quite enough.
The market, ever the coy coquette, seems undecided about Nvidia’s next act. Will the forthcoming second-quarter earnings report on August 27 bring rapture or ruin? Who can say? What is certain, however, is that replicating a 62,000% return over the next quarter-century feels less like ambition and more like lunacy. Even so, Nvidia may still serve as a tolerable addition to a diversified portfolio-provided one doesn’t grow overly sentimental about it. After all, darling, stocks, like lovers, are best appreciated without excessive attachment 🍸.
