It’s no secret that Artificial Intelligence (AI) stocks have dominated the market for the last few years. With firms like PwC — one of the “big four” accounting firms — making claims that AI could add $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030 — the hype makes sense.
The revolution’s poster child, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), saw its stock skyrocket nearly 1000% from late 2022 to today, but the last few months have not been as kind. After reaching its highest peak in June, shares of Nvidia are down about 10%. More significant market fears mixed with slower growth have caused some to cool on the once red-hot stock. So, where to go from here?
Nvidia’s AI Summit is a big day for the company and the industry
As the de facto leader of the entire industry, Nvidia needs to continue to do just that: lead. The 2024 AI Summit, which begins October 7, is a chance for the company to bring together some of the biggest faces and best minds in the industry to help push AI forward, all while keeping itself front and center. It’s a chance to communicate Nvidia’s vision not just to other industry leaders, but to the public at large.
One of the primary questions investors have for the company — and it’s a very legitimate one — is: Are the real-world applications of AI that impactful? Is the incredible cost of AI hardware worth the investment? The summit will be a chance for Nvidia to showcase the myriad ways AI can be used to return real value. It’s a chance to justify the enormous cost of its chips and, ultimately, the price of its shares.
The event in and of itself is unlikely to move the needle, but it may help ease some fears and get investors thinking about the possibilities and power of AI. Luckily, the event isn’t happening in a vacuum. Here are a few reasons why Nvidia is in a prime position to capitalize on the event.

In Nvidia’s only major snafu since the AI boom took off, the company announced its latest line of chips, dubbed Blackwell, was delayed. Issues in its manufacturing meant they wouldn’t be shipped on time. Nvidia assured that…
