Certainly, Nvidia’s market capand industry leadership make the case for investing in its stock and It's noteworthy that stock splits have no bearing on a company’s underlying fundamentals or earnings although earnings per share (EPS) are diluted to reflect the increased number of shares.
In this regard, Nvidia’s annual earnings are now forecasted at $2.65 per share ($26.54 per share/10) for its current fiscal 2025 with FY26 EPS projected to expand 22% to $3.25. Of course, sales are not affected by a stock split either and Nvidia's top line is expected to soar 91% in FY25 to $116.4 billion versus $60.92 billion in FY24. Better still, FY26 sales are projected to climb another 22% to $142.29 billion.
