Ambarella (NASDAQ: AMBA) may not be a household name in the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor market, where Nvidia has established a dominant position for itself thanks to its powerful data center graphics cards.

The chipmaker and AI specialist just sold several of the companies in its portfolio. Should investors follow suit?

Is Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) in trouble? It's a question many investors have been asking after shares tumbled more than 20% from recent highs. Today, let's examine what has happened with Nvidia and whether another stock might be the smart choice for AI investors in 2025.

Nvidia has generated remarkable growth since the advent of AI. In fact, over the past three years, its stock price has gained 489% (as of this writing). The company has benefited from an unprecedented data center buildout, which requires a vast number of its AI-centric chips.

Triple-digit gains from these AI stocks should be more than enough to outperform Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ). NVDA stock has “only” delivered 7% in gains over the past six months, and it no longer has the potential to print generational wealth.
