Oppenheimer made the call on Nvidia as it named the four top microchip/semiconductor stocks to own in 2025. With its dominance over the chips used to power artificial intelligence (AI) applications and models, particularly in data centers, Nvidia remains a standout among semiconductor stocks.
In a note to clients, Oppenheimer said that Nvidia is still the “largest volume producer of AI accelerators” in the world and continues to dominate the AI infrastructure market like no other company. Oppenheimer expects Nvidia’s data center AI sales to reach $172 billion this year.
Other Standouts
In addition to Nvidia, Oppenheimer also likes chip stocks Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR), Broadcom (AVGO), and Marvell Technology (MRVL) for the year ahead. The analysts say that Monolithic Power should achieve long-term growth, particularly in the automotive sector.
At the same time, Broadcom’s diversified operations across networking, wireless, broadband, and software should ensure that its growth continues. And, Marvell has major AI projects ramping up with Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL).
NVDA stock has risen 140% over the past year.
