Nvidia (NVDA) stock has seen an extraordinary rise over the past five years, increasing 2,297% - including a staggering 204% jump over the past 52 weeks. This surge is primarily due to Nvidia's stronghold in the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market, especially with its graphics processing units (GPUs) increasingly utilized in data centers

Despite some concerns over NVDA stock’s lofty valuation, the tech giant is still making significant advancements, as demonstrated at CES 2025. The introduction of Nvidia's Blackwell gaming chips, featuring Micron's (MU) memory, has sparked particular interest, sending MU stock up 4% in pre-market trading.

Separately, it was revealed that Nvidia is working with Innoviz Technologies (INVZ) to boost autonomous driving through its DRIVE AGX Orin platform, aiming to enhance safety and performance. Also on Monday, Nvidia announced a partnership with Uber (UBER) on autonomous vehicle (AV) technology. 

Overall, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang forecasts automotive revenue to grow to $5 billion in FY25, fueled by AI-driven autonomous driving technology. Nvidia's strategic initiatives and collaborations are positioning it as a leader in AI and autonomous technologies, with promising growth prospects ahead.

That said, Nvidia faces potential risks from major clients like Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Alphabet (GOOGL), who are developing their own AI chips, which could diminish future demand.

NVDA is up 2.2% ahead of the open, and on track to open near its record highs. Analysts have an average price target of $175.55 for the stock, representing a premium of 17.5% to Monday’s close.
