Nvidia is one of the most talked about stocks in the world right now. It has delivered whopping returns in excess of 3,200% over the past five years thanks to developments in artificial intelligence (AI).

Nvidia designs the chips that enable AI – a megatrend that has captured headlines and imaginations alike in recent years. This has put the wind in the stock’s sails. Nvidia is now the second most valuable company in the world, having overtaken Apple last week (5 June).
