Nvidia’s “king of AI” stature is allegedly under threat as its top customers turn to Broadcom to build custom chips and systems. Find out why NVDA stock is a Buy.

Both stocks have had strong runs in 2024. Let's consider which semiconductor looks like the better buy heading into 2025.

Wall Street is talking up Broadcom as an Nvidia disruptor and one of the reasons for this is the diverging stock performance of these two stocks since the political temperature cooled down in the US after election day.

Nvidia is one of the most popular AI stocks right now because of its lead in the semiconductor space. The company's graphics processing units (GPUs) have been used in data centers for years, and once tech giants began competing for generative AI dominance, the chips were even more in demand.

Broadcom announced their quarterly earnings to the delight of investors who bid shares almost 40% higher. Broadcom beat analyst expectations for earnings per share by $0.03. The company’s earnings per share results were $1.

Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) has been an outstanding investment over the past three years, as shares of the semiconductor giant have shot up an impressive 240% during this time and outpaced the 27% gains clocked by the PHLX Semiconductor Sector index over the same period.
