Throughout much of November and December last year, market fears persisted over the death of AI as companies struggled to make a profit after investing billions into products and development to keep up with the AI trends. Nvidia, with the largest market capitalization in the world, was even affected, and their stock dipped from $206 per share to $170.

Now, Nvidia stock is priced at $187 and has recovered from much of the downtrend since fear over the AI market is subsiding. Many of those fears are still prevalent for investors, analysts, and economists, and they worry that AI products and services have become overvalued. There is concern that the very high predictions for the market’s future are way off and are valueless hype with no substance, but these fears are not as strong now in January as they were last month.

Nvidia Makes AI’s Future Look Bright

It is fair to say that Nvidia is leading the way for the AI market, and many of its competitors are looking at what it is doing and trying to keep up the pace. However, Nvidia is stagnating compared to its performance in September and October of last year. That was when it hit its all-time high of $207, and the company has been slowly working its way back up in January.

Nvidia’s stock value has dramatically increased in the past few years, and 2026 is off to a strong start. Their market value has likewise increased, moving from $350 billion a few years ago to $4.5 trillion now. They are currently the most valuable company globally, beating out even Apple last year.

The widespread implementation of AI in services around the world have helped propel Nvidia much higher in recent years, and that growth is barely slowing down. Even fears about the AI market’s future have not held Nvidia back this year.

The company’s earnings grew 39% last year, and Wall Street analysts have Nvidia’s earnings for 2026 pegged at about $170 billion. If they manage to make that much, that would push their market cap past $6 trillion. That could also make them the most profitable company in the world, setting another milestone that will just add fuel to the AI market fire. This is likely not an overvalued stock and could see considerable stock market growth this year.
