The chip maker's shares are up more than 50% over the past three months, leading the broader market rebound after the tariff selloff.

I'm talking about Nvidia (NVDA) , of course, and the question is: Can it help power the S&P 500 to another record high? The answer is yes. In premarket trading shares of the AI-chip giant are trading up nearly 1%.

Nvidia ( NVDA 1.10%) has been one of the best investments to own over the past few years. However, if you examine how the stock has performed in 2023 and 2024, it's clear that the second half of the year hasn't been as strong as the first half, though it's still been positive.
