Nvidia has had an astronomical rise, soaring over 200% in 2023 alone on the back of the artificial intelligence buzz. Though the stock dived more than 5% on Friday and by another 2% on Monday, it’s still up this year by around 73%. In fact, many are still bullish on Nvidia, giving more upside to its shares.
