The Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) has experienced major growth over the past year.
The tech company was founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem. The idea was that they wanted to push the boundaries of computer graphics technology. The company initially focused on 3D graphics processing units for the PC market, but Nvidia’s big breakthrough came in 1999 with the release of the GeForce 256. This chip was marketed as the world’s first “GPU” (graphics processing unit), a term Nvidia coined. It was seen as a major innovation in 3D graphics in PC gaming – and set the company on its way to major success.

More recently, Nvidia’s performance is driven by its dominance in the artificial intelligence (AI) market. The company’s GPUs have become big in the world of training and running large AI models. This surge in demand for AI-capable hardware, coupled with Nvidia’s technological lead in this space, has majorly boosted its revenue and stock value.
For investors who hesitated to invest in this tech giant, it was, to put it frankly, a loss. Let’s figure out just how much potential returns an investor might have missed by not purchasing 100 shares of Nvidia one year ago.
Earning passive income doesn’t need to be difficult. You can start this week.
According to the data, as GOBankingRates sourced from Finbox, Nvidia’s one-year price total return stands at an impressive 160.6%. This takes into account not only the change in stock price but also adjusts for any dividends and stock splits that may have occurred during this period.
To calculate the potential missed opportunity, we need to look at Nvidia’s stock price from a year ago. The data shows that the adjusted prior close price was $43.51. Given that price, here’s how the investment would have played out:
So, a $4,351 investment in 100 shares of Nvidia a year ago would be worth $11,338.71 today, which is an incredible gain of $6,987.71.
To put this performance in context, we can compare Nvidia’s returns to some of its peers:
Intel Corp. (INTC): -41.9%
Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM): 55.2%
Broadcom Inc. (AVGO): 93.7%
Marvell Technology Inc. (MRVL): 32.8%
Nvidia’s year-over-year stock price return of more than 160% easily beats this group of peer companies, as well as many others on the market.
Editor’s note: Returns were calculated as of Sept. 19, 2024, and are accurate as of this date.

Israel has launched air strikes in Lebanon and is restricting gatherings in the city of Haifa and other northern areas as it continues to attack targets linked to Hezbollah.
Dozens of fighter jets started “extensively” striking southern Lebanon “following detection of Hezbollah preparing to fire toward Israeli territory”, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Rear Adm Daniel Hagari said.
The latest Israeli offensive comes a day after it carried out an air strike in Beirut, which the IDF said killed a dozen senior Hezbollah commanders. Lebanon said 37 people – including three children – were killed.
The US government is urging its citizens there to leave “via commercial options while still available”.
On Friday, exchanges of cross-border fire resumed between Israel and Hezbollah.
Before the evening Israeli strikes began, the IDF said earlier it had destroyed “about 180 sites and thousands of [rocket] launcher barrels” with strikes
The IDF also said more than 90 rockets were fired at Israeli territory from Lebanon. Hezbollah said it had targeted 11 Israeli military positions over the course of the day.
On Saturday night, Hezbollah said it had fired dozens of rockets towards the Ramat David Airbase in Israel’s north in retaliation for the Israeli attacks.
Earlier this week, 39 people were killed and thousands wounded after pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia and political group, exploded on two days across Lebanon.
On Thursday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah blamed Israel for the attacks, saying it had crossed “all red lines” and vowed “just punishment”.
Israel has not claimed responsibility.
UN human rights chief Volker Türk said the pager and walkie-talkie explosions violated international humanitarian law.
On Saturday, the IDF announced new restrictions on communities in northern Israel and parts of the southern Golan Heights starting at 20:30 local time (17:30 GMT).
The IDF limited gatherings to 30 participants in an open area and 300 participants in a closed space. Educational activities can continue and arrival to work is permitted as long as there are protected spaces available.
The restrictions apply to the Haifa area and northward.
As fears increase that the conflict may break out into a full-scale war, the US State Department issued new travel advice for citizens currently in Lebanon.
The US Embassy in Beirut urged people to “depart Lebanon while commercial options still remain available”, noting they were already running at “reduced capacity”.
The embassy added it “may not be able to assist US citizens who choose to remain”.
Neighbouring Jordan’s foreign ministry issued similar advice to its citizens, urging those in Lebanon to leave as soon as possible.
Cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah escalated on 8 October 2023 – the day after the attack on Israel by Hamas gunmen from Gaza – when Hezbollah fired at Israeli positions in solidarity with the Palestinians.
Israel recently added the return of people displaced from the north of the country due to the cross-border fighting to its list of war goals.
Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said on Thursday that Israel was entering a “new phase of the war” concentrating more of its efforts in the north.
Anonymous letters have created a “village of poison” in East Yorkshire, according to residents.
Those on the receiving end of the “vulgar” mail say they have been “terrorised” through their letterboxes for the past two years.
The post sent by a mysterious writer to Shiptonthorpe, some of which has been seen by the BBC, is described as “personal, obscene and targeted”.
Humberside Police has carried out inquiries into some of the incidents.
The saga is reminiscent of scandalous letters that blighted Littlehampton, a small seaside town in Sussex, in the spring of 1920 – which sparked a House of Commons debate and period comedy drama Wicked Little Letters, starring Olivia Colman.
In Shiptonthorpe, Sophie – not her real name – said she received her first letter in December 2022 and reported it to the police.
At the time she was trying to become a ward councillor – and she was left “astonished” after opening it.
“It was vile, I ripped it up, I couldn’t believe where it had come from or why I’d received it,” she said.
Despite destroying the letter, the hurtful accusations have stuck with Sophie.
“It was accusing me of what you could call being a loose woman,” she said.
“It said the only way I would ever get anywhere within politics would be if I was to perform unspeakable things to men.”
The writer ended the letter and said Sophie should be “turned out on the Beverley Westwood pasture with the rest of the cows”.
“It was just vile,” Sophie recalled.
Humberside Police confirmed it received a report of the letter. “Inquiries were carried out at the time, including reviewing CCTV,” the force said.
“However, the content of the alleged letter was unavailable and subsequently no further investigative opportunities were able to be obtained.”
Officers said they gave Sophie safety advice. She has received three more letters since and reported them all to police.
Elsewhere in the village – home to just 500 people – Sophie’s partner Sam has opened letters claiming to be from a friend, urging him “to be honest” with himself.
One, which the BBC has seen, warned Sam about Sophie’s private life, urging him to stop Sophie from “roaming”.
The letter was signed: “From a caring dear friend.”
Sam said he feared for his partner after they both received letters. “I was frightened,” he said. “I was worried that anybody would approach her because I didn’t know who else had knowledge of this letter.”
Humberside Police said it received a report from a man who felt concerned after he received an anonymous letter to his home address.
“Officers reviewed the letter, however the content was not found to contain any aggressive language and it was established that no criminal offences had been committed,” the force said.
Officers urged him to call them again if further incidents took place.
In another letter seen by the BBC, an anonymous writer told a villager: “I hope cancer finds you.”
Another resident, Jason, said although he had not received any letters, the damage stretches further throughout the village.
“A cloud of vitriol has fallen over Shiptonthorpe,” he said.
“It is a wonderful village with wonderful people, but someone has brought poison to this village.”
Jason claimed some people had left the village because of the letters.
“People come here for a quiet, tranquil, community-spirted life and that’s being damaged badly by one or two devilish people,” he said.
“In my opinion I believe this constitutes a hate crime.”
SPECIALIST security is set to guard Mike Lynch’s sunken superyacht over fears rogue governments may want to plunder it for sensitive secrets.
Italian prosecutors reckon there could be classified information locked inside the £30million Bayesian which sunk during a storm off Sicily on August 22.
Salvage experts believe passcodes could be among data held on two super-encrypted hard drives stored in on-board watertight safes.
Local law enforcement initially feared professional thieves might loot the 164ft vessel, which is set to be raised in the coming weeks, for valuables like expensive jewellery.
But they have asked for security to be bolstered both above water and underwater due to concerns over foreign powers like Russia and China.
A Sicilian civil protection authority official assisting with the criminal investigation told CNN: “A formal request has been accepted and implemented for additional security of the wreckage until it can be raised.”
Mr Lynch, 59, had connections with British, American and other intelligence services through firms like his cyber security company Darktrace.
The billionaire tycoon, known as Britain’s Bill Gates, previously advised PMs like David Cameron and Theresa May as an expert on science, technology and security.
The tragic trip was celebrating Mr Lynch’s acquittal from a US fraud trial surrounding the £8.6billion sale of his Autonomy company to Hewlett Packard.
He died alongside 18-year-old daughter Hannah, on-board chef Recaldo Thomas, lawyer Chris Morvillo, his wife Neda, banker Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy.
His wife Angela Bacares and 14 others survived including captain James Cutfield who is being probed for multiple manslaughter.

Data recovered from the Bayesian’s Automatic Identification System (AIS) breaks down exactly how it sank in a painful minute-by-minute timeline.
At 3.50am on Monday August 19 the Bayesian began to shake “dangerously” during a fierce storm, Italian outlet Corriere revealed.
Just minutes later at 3.59am the boat’s anchor gave way, with a source saying the data showed there was “no anchor left to hold”.
After the ferocious weather ripped away the boat’s mooring it was dragged some 358 metres through the water.
By 4am it had began to take on water and was plunged into a blackout, indicating that the waves had reached its generator or even engine room.
At 4.05am the Bayesian fully disappeared underneath the waves.
An emergency GPS signal was finally emitted at 4.06am to the coastguard station in Bari, a city nearby, alerting them that the vessel had sunk.
Early reports suggested the disaster struck around 5am local time off the coast of Porticello Harbour in Palermo, Sicily.
The new data pulled from the boat’s AIS appears to suggest it happened an hour earlier at around 4am.
Some 15 of the 22 onboard were rescued, 11 of them scrambling onto an inflatable life raft that sprung up on the deck.
A smaller nearby boat – named Sir Robert Baden Powell – then helped take those people to shore.
