  • Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a top pick among investors and it's obvious — just look at its market cap, which is now worth more than the entire German stock market.

    Strong demand for the stock is evident from its remarkable surge of +223% over the past 12 months, highlighting its popularity with investors.

    But let's not oversimplify by attributing everything to its impressive performance alone.

    Nvidia's YTD rise of +76% is notable, yet two other stocks are outpacing it by a wide margin: Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) with a staggering +227% return and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) with gains of +140%.

    Below is a comparison chart of the three stocks' performance in 2024, with Nvidia represented by the red line.

    Just a few days ago, Saxo Bank cautioned that the hype surrounding artificial intelligence, evident in the soaring stock prices of companies like Nvidia and Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO), may be overstated due to inflated company valuations.
