Nvidia is well positioned to benefit over the long term and in the near term. In fact, my prediction is this hot stock won't take a pause this year and instead will soar in 2025 — thanks to this one thing. Let's check it out.

Nvidia got crushed on Monday, the result of artificial intelligence (AI) developments in China. Startup DeepSeek claims to have developed a top-shelf AI chatbot at a fraction of the cost. Nvidia's cutting-edge technology and track record of innovation provide a compelling case for buying the shares on sale.

Retail investors bought a record amount of Nvidia stock on Monday after concerns over a low-cost artificial intelligence model from Chinese startup DeepSeek stripped 17% off its shares, or $593 billion from its market value.

NVIDIA, the world's most valuable company until Monday, lost $600 billion of market value in a single day, the biggest in US stock history.

Chinese startup DeepSeek has achieved what many (including experts) thought impossible: create a foundational, competitive AI model for just $5.6 million. By comparison, OpenAI’s unreleased GPT-5 (codenamed “Orion”) reportedly requires $500 million for six months of training.
