Google Finance NVDA sentiment trackers report over 78% bullish analyst ratings, with buy targets averaging $980, reflecting aggressive price predictions anchored in AI adoption rates. Progress remained slow. Early prototypes in the 2000s – ion traps, superconducting qubits, photonic chips – were unstable and error-prone. But momentum picked up in the late 2010s, when IBM ( IBM ), Alphabet ( GOOGL ), and Rigetti ( RGTI ) put quantum processors on the cloud, giving developers and enterprises hands-on access for the first time. Then, in 2019, Google’s Sycamore processor claimed “quantum supremacy,” solving a problem in minutes that would take a classical system thousands of years. Creating these advanced chips requires specialized equipment. Perhaps the most specialized is the extreme ultraviolet lithography machines procured from ASML (NASDAQ: ASML) . ASML is the only company in the world to build these machines, giving it a technological monopoly. This is extremely rare with how intense competition is, and whenever investors have the chance to own shares in a company with this status, they'd be smart to do so. Current Google Finance NVDA figures indicate a P/E ratio of 78.4, slightly above sector averages, reflecting investor confidence in prolonged AI hardware demand despite cyclical semiconductor risks.
