Ever since artificial intelligence (AI) became the buzzword in 2023, Nvidia (NVDA) has been at the forefront of the AI trade. NVDA stock gained 239% in 2023 and another 171% in 2024. Last year's price action was more muted by that yardstick, as the stock rose only 39%. Those returns should be seen in perspective, however — Nvidia not only outperformed the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) by a decent margin but was also the second-best-performing "Magnificent 7" stock, trailing only Alphabet (GOOGL), which saw a rerating of sorts last year.
Cut to 2026, and we see something similar. Alphabet is still the best-performing Mag 7 stock, followed by NVDA stock. However, while GOOGL stock's year-to-date (YTD) returns are slightly ahead of the Nasdaq Composite ($NASX), Nvidia is trailing the tech-heavy index. Needless to say, the remaining Mag 7 stocks are also underperforming the index this year.
