A $1,000 investment in NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock a year ago would be in a double-digit percentage profit as of June 29, 2026, as the company benefited from the AI stock boom.
On June 30, 2025, NVDA stock traded at about $157.99. As of Monday, Nvidia stock hovered around $194.73, up 23.55% over the past 12 months.
As such, an investor who risked $1,000 a year ago would have seen the portfolio grow to approximately $1,235 at press time. Essentially, the investor’s 6.329 NVDA shares would be sitting on unrealized profits of over $230.
The $1,000 portfolio peaked at about $1,470, as Nvidia stock hit an all-time high of roughly $236.49 in mid-May 2026. Over the past few weeks, NVDA stock plunged by 17%, reducing unrealized profits by $235.
However, the investor could have benefited from Nvidia’s largest dividend payout, as Finbold noted. Notably, Nvidia paid a dividend of $0.25 per share on June 26, 2026; thus, the $1,000 initial portfolio could have earned $1.58.
Nvidia stock market outlook
At press time, Nvidia’s outstanding shares were around 24.2 billion, thus a market capitalization of $4.66 trillion. The company’s stock price has experienced bearish sentiment over the past few weeks amid fears of a potential AI stock bubble burst and technical headwinds, as Finbold highlighted.
Nonetheless, the long-term outlook for Nvidia stock remains bullish, fueled by rising demand for AI products, as Finbold reported. Furthermore, Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, believes the company’s future is well supported by the notable growth in Agentic AI.
As such, the $1,000 NVDA portfolio could grow further in the near future, amid a potential parabolic rally.
