According to the findings, Nvidia emerged as the frontrunner in the list of best-performing investments. The tech giant boasted an impressive 180% increase in value during the post-COVID period, with its shares skyrocketing from $293 in 2021 to a staggering $822 in 2024. This demonstrated its attractiveness to investors despite the volatile market conditions. On the other hand, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) took the third position, experiencing an uptick of 49.50% in its stock price.
Other companies such as Microsoft, gold, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and AeroVironment were also featured on the list, but their returns appeared not as impressive compared to the top three stocks. Bitcoin’s performance in the post-COVID era was relatively modest, experiencing an 8.26% increase in value. Despite outperforming many other altcoins such as Binance Coin (BNB), Solana (SOL), and Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin was placed in the 11th position, not making it into the top 10. While Nvidia emerged as a standout performer, recent data from Google Finance indicates a slight downturn in its stock value, dropping by over 16% in the past month, from $950 to $795.
This raised questions about the sustainability of Nvidia’s growth trajectory in the long term.
