Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been a top-performing stock for the past two years, and all signs point toward it delivering once again in 2025. However, its growth is also likely to slow, and seeing the stock triple again is not likely in the cards.

Although Nvidia has an outsized influence on the movements of the cap-weighted benchmarks, at current prices NVDA stock will be as important to the DJIA as, roughly, 3M ( MMM ). There's also the fact that it would have been nice if the keepers of the Dow had made this move sooner rather than later.
