Nvidia shares rose nearly 40% in 2025 with minimal dividends amid AI-driven growth.

An investment in 100 Nvidia shares at the start of 2025 would have yielded modest $5 in dividends by May 2026, reflecting Nvidia's low dividend payout policy. However, the stock price surged nearly 40% due to strong demand for AI chips, especially in its Data Center segment which saw record revenue growth. Major tech companies' investments in AI infrastructure and Nvidia's Blackwell GPU platform boosted investor confidence, making Nvidia a key beneficiary of the AI boom. Despite market volatility, Nvidia remains a dominant player in the semiconductor and AI chip market.
