Nvidia Stock Soars 1,330% Over Five Years Amid AI Boom
- Stock Performance: As of January 29, Nvidia's (NVDA) stock has surged 1,330% over the past five years, reflecting its strong position in the ongoing AI boom, particularly due to relentless demand from hyperscalers for its premium data center chips.
- Dividend Payments: Nvidia has been paying dividends since 2012, currently at $0.01 quarterly, meaning investors would need to invest over $47 million to acquire 250,000 shares for $10,000 in annual dividends, indicating a low yield of just 0.021%, making it unsuitable for income-focused investors.
