It’s no exaggeration to say that Nvidia (Nasdaq:NVDA), to many people, is the most important stock on Wall Street these days. Last year, the company was responsible for more than 20% of the S&P 500’s total return, and it’s a stalwart in a wide swath of 401(k) and IRA investment accounts.
That alone would be reason enough for the company’s fourth-quarter-earnings report to receive widespread interest on Wednesday after the market c

Many things remain uncertain about AI’s future impact on our lives. One that isn’t in doubt is that more and more of the world’s software will be written, at least in part, by software. Already, 25% of Google’s code is generated by AI, CEO Sundar Pichai said last October. By 2028,
