Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) continues its upward trajectory, driven by advancements in AI. The stock has already seen a remarkable 207% increase year to date (YTD), trading at $483. Additionally, NVDA stands out as this year’s top performer in the S&P 500, as the company holds a market capitalization of over $1 trillion.

In its latest financial report, Nvidia surpassed expectations with an adjusted earnings per share of $2.70, well above the $2.08 forecast. The company’s revenue growth was equally impressive, soaring by 101% year over year (YOY) to $13.5 billion, eclipsing the predicted $11.2 billion.

Furthermore, TipRanks analysts give NVDA a strong buy rating, with a whopping 34% upside.

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) continues to redefine the tech landscape. The company’s third-quarter results clearly indicate this trend, with reports of a substantial 23% increase in revenue, reaching $34.15 billion. This financial leap is coupled with an impressive 164% rise in income, soaring to $11.5 billion, which emphasizes its consistent growth trajectory.

While Meta Platform’s revenue and user base have grown, it’s important to recognize the rise in operational costs and expenses. However, the tech giant continues to secure significant profits, yielding strong returns for shareholders. Additionally, META aims to incorporate AI chatbots into its platforms, signaling a shift towards interactive, AI-driven social media experiences.

Furthermore, TipRanks analysts have given META stock a strong buy rating, with an anticipated 17% upside. Additionally, according to Simply Wall Street analysts, Meta’s earnings and revenue are expected to grow faster than the U.S. market average. Thus, appeal will become more enticing to growth-focused investors.

Moreover,  Microsoft’s revenue climbed to $56.5 billion in the recent quarter. This significantly marks a 13% year over year (YOY) increase, buoyed in part by Azure’s impressive 29% revenue growth.

Looking forward, the company is poised for long-term success. MSFT expects a healthy 15% bump in sales in the upcoming quarter, projecting $60.4 billion to $61.4 billion. This growth trajectory is also bolstered by Microsoft’s $13 billion investment in OpenAI.

Furthermore, the company’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) positions it among the top players in the gaming sphere.
