Meet the Only S&P 500 Stock to Have Outperformed Nvidia Over the Past 5 Years

newsfeedback@fool.com (David Jagielski)

It's hard to imagine that any stock may have performed better than Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) over the past five years. The company has been a huge winner due to the artificial intelligence (AI) trend, as its chips provide the majority of the processing power used to develop, train, and operate AI models.

It has come a long way, but what may surprise you is that since September 2020, it has only been the second-best performing stock on the S&P 500. The award for first place goes to Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI), also known as Supermicro. (This is based on five-year returns as of Sept. 1, and does not include stocks that weren't public five years earlier.)Image source: Getty Images.Continue reading
