So, it would have to nearly quadruple to hit $800 per share. Considering the chipmaker's sheer size as a $5.1 trillion company, that would require Nvidia to reach a nearly $20 trillion market cap. That's a long climb, but I think it could happen faster than most investors think.In fact, by 2030, this stock price is reachable. That's a growth of four times in nearly as many years, making the stock an absolute no-brainer if this projection is correct. Judging by what Nvidia has told investors, I think it's entirely possible, which means investors should be loading up on shares right now.Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »Image source: Nvidia.The biggest thing driving Nvidia's stock right now is the AI infrastructure build-out. AI hyperscalers are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to build and equip data centers. That is boosting Nvidia's business substantially, because its processors account for a large chunk of the computing market. While competitors are rising, the reality is that large clients still want Nvidia hardware, even at elevated costs. Plus, Nvidia continues to innovate, and with its next-generation Vera Rubin architecture launching later this year, there are more innovations coming quickly.The hyperscalers -- Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms -- have repeatedly told investors that they're in a compute-constrained environment, and there still aren't that many AI workloads being run today in comparison to what could be run in the future if the world flips to an AI-first economy. If AI is all that some are hyping it up to be, the world will need a lot more computing capacity, which is where Nvidia's long-term projection comes in.By 2030, Nvidia expects global data center capital expenditures to be between $3 trillion and $4 trillion annually. That's a ton of money, especially considering that the four AI hyperscalers alone said earlier in 2026 that they plan on spending about $650 billion this year. Moreover, that figure has steadily ticked up throughout the year: Alphabet recently announced another expansion of its capital expenditure plans for 2026. The AI build-out is far from over, and if the $3 trillion to $4 trillion projection proves accurate, Nvidia's revenues and profits could justify the stock climbing to the $800 per share mark.Terms and Privacy PolicyEU DSA contactPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
