Tech stocks, particularly Nvidia and the Nasdaq 100, are currently experiencing record highs on Wall Street, signaling significant buying opportunities for private investors.
Nvidia as a Leader in the Tech Sector
The Nvidia stock recently reached a new record high of over $154 at NASDAQ, significantly surpassing its previous high from January 2025. On June 25, the stock temporarily rose by around four percent to $153.61, and the following day a price of about $154.31 was noted. Analysts still see substantial price potential for Nvidia due to its strong growth and leading position in the AI chip sector.
Drivers of the Price Increase: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Strong Quarterly Results
The main reason for Nvidia’s surge is the massive demand for AI technology. Recent quarterly results showed robust growth despite geopolitical challenges such as export restrictions to China. Major customers like Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon continue to invest heavily in expanding their AI infrastructure – together they account for over 40 percent of Nvidia’s revenue.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed at a shareholders’ meeting the ongoing strong demand and sees this as just the beginning of a comprehensive upgrade in the computer industry driven by AI technologies. Experts believe that the “AI arms race” will continue at least until the end of 2026.
Implications for Private Investors
This trend means for private investors:
- Buying Opportunities: The tech sector currently offers attractive entry points thanks to strong growth prospects.
- Long-Term Potential: In particular, companies with leading technology in the AI sector could continue to benefit.
- Market Leadership as a Safety Factor: Nvidia’s pronounced competitive advantage (“moat”) strengthens its position against competitive pressure.
The Nasdaq 100 also benefits from the boom in tech stocks overall, as many of its components are closely linked to the themes of digitalization and artificial intelligence.
In summary, the current record run in tech stocks like Nvidia reflects the huge potential of the AI trend. Private investors should closely monitor this development to identify opportunities and benefit from long-term growth in this sector.
