Nvidia, a leader in AI computing, has seen its stock underperform compared to the broader semiconductor sector, lagging by 55% year-to-date and 75% over the past year. Despite this, the company continues to grow rapidly, with a 106% revenue increase in its latest quarter and expectations of 70% growth in fiscal 2028.
