It has been 26 years since Nvidia has gone public. The stock has crashed in four of these years. So it's certainly possible that Nvidia's stock price will reverse and turn south in 2025. In fact, I think 2025 is a year that is more likely than most of a drop in stock price. Here's why.

Nvidia is once again the most valuable U.S. company, outranking Apple for the first time since late November. A rise in the chip maker's stock meant it ended Tuesday with a market capitalization of $3.

The past few years have been undeniably profitable for Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) investors. The stock price has surged more than sevenfold over the past two years, and today, it topped the charts as the world's most valuable company in terms of market cap.

When the curtain closed on 2024, investors were all smiles. The mature stock-driven Dow Jones Industrial Average, benchmark S&P 500, and growth-fueled Nasdaq Composite ended last year higher by 13%, 23%, and 29%, respectively.
