Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Equinix Stock In The Last 10 Years

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) will likely be one of the top stocks to watch next week. The company's annual GTC conference, often referred to as the Global AI Conference, will take place, and CEO Jensen Huang will once again provide<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37803088/nvidia-gtc-2024-ceo-huang-highlights-the-past-present-and-future-of-ai-a-new-industry-has-emerged"> a keynote speech.</a>
What Happened: The GTC Conference runs March 17 through March 21, with Huang's keynote coming on March 18 at 1 p.m. ET. The event could serve as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/44015322/nvidia-analyst-sees-significant-upside-for-stock-with-favorable-riskreward">the next catalyst</a> for the stock, which has fallen in recent months.
Nvidia's AI conference will give the company a chance to highlight new and upcoming products, give updates on demand for items like the Blackwell chips and showcase future monetization opportunities like robotics and automotives.
Nvidia said Huang's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_waPvOwL9Z8">keynote </a>and the event will provide a "glimpse into the future of AI infrastructure, scientific computing, AI and robotics."
"AI is pushing the limits of what's possible — turning yesterday's dreams into today's reality," Huang <a href="https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-and-industry-visionaries-to-unveil-whats-next-in-ai-at-gtc-2025">said</a>. "GTC brings together the brightest scientists, engineers, developers and creators to imagine and build a better future. Come and be first to see the new advances in NVIDIA computing and breakthroughs in AI, robotics, science and the arts that will transform industries and society."
A preview of GTC from <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/12/nvidia-gtc-2025-what-to-expect-from-this-years-show/">TechCrunch </a>said the expectation is Nvidia shows off an upgraded lineup of the Blackwell chip, like the Blackwell B300 series, codenamed Blackwell Ultra. The chip is slated for a release in the second half of 2025.
The preview also said Nvidia could showcase Rubin, the company's next-gen GPU series, which will be released in 2026.
Huang said on a recent Nvidia earnings call that he would talk about post-Rubin products at GTC, which could mean additional product showcases as the company looks toward 2026 and beyond.
Nvidia will also likely showcase its role in quantum computing. The company will host its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43001201/nvidia-announces-first-ever-quantum-day-at-gtc-2025-days-after-jensen-huang-said-quantum-computing-is-20-years-away" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first-ever</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43001201/nvidia-announces-first-ever-quantum-day-at-gtc-2025-days-after-jensen-huang-said-quantum-computing-is-20-years-away"> quantum day </a>at GTC, which will feature executives from several leading companies in the sector.

Why It's Important: Keynotes from Huang and product unveilings have proven to be major catalysts for Nvidia and its stock.
Huang gave a keynote at this year's CES earlier in January. Huang's speech happened after market hours on Jan. 6. Nvidia stock opened at $152.03 on Jan. 7 and hit the all-time high of $153.13 during that day.
Investor optimism in the stock may have peaked around the keynote and product announcements at the event as shares have fallen since then.
With Nvidia stock currently down year-to-date, Huang's GTC keynote could serve as a pivotal moment to create optimism in the company's chips and AI business once again along with some potential new products and catalysts that haven't been factored into the stock.
Other Companies to Watch: Over 25,000 people are expected to attend GTC 2025, which will have over 1,000 sessions and more than 2,000 speakers.
Last year's GTC event provided a boost to several public companies who were mentioned as Nvidia partners by the company.
A current speaker lineup also shows that several public companies will have speakers at the conference, which could make their stocks worth watching for investors as AI continues to be a catalyst watched by analysts and investors.
Here are some of the public companies that have <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/gtc/speakers/">speakers </a>at GTC 2025:
<ul>
<li>Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>)</li>

<li>The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)</li>
</ul>
While many companies are represented by AI sector executives or chief technology officers, Rivian stands out with its CEO and founder, RJ Scaringe, speaking at the event.
Nvidia's Quantum Day on March 20 could also serve as a catalyst for the overall quantum computing sector and provide a boost for companies speaking, which <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/gtc/sessions/quantum-day/#:~:text=NVIDIA%20founder%20and%20CEO%20Jensen,holds%20for%20useful%20quantum%20computing.">include</a>:

<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)</li>
</ul>
While there is no guarantee that any company or stock will be as impacted as Nvidia by GTC 2025, investors should know the companies present at the event and be prepared for potential catalysts and press releases related to the event.

Nvidia Stock Reached All-Time Highs After Jensen Huang's CES Keynote — Will Next Week's GTC Spark Another Surge?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped from 3.0% in January to 2.8% in February, below economist expectations of 2.9%. With inflation cooling, the possibility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">interest rate cuts</a> also come into the picture. 
In this backdrop, certain sectors stand to benefit more than others, such as consumer discretionary, technology and real estate. ETFs with exposure to these sectors also stand to benefit from a cooling inflation (and subsequently rate cuts). Below are some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs to consider</a> in this scenario.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44280431/cpi-reactions">Inflation Moves In The &#8216;Right Direction&#8217; But Forecast Is Hazy, Economist Says</a>
1. Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>)
When inflation eases, consumers gain more purchasing power, often leading to higher spending on non-essential goods like apparel, automobiles and entertainment. This benefits the consumer discretionary sector, and consequently XLY.
<ul>
<li>AUM: $20.28 billion</li>
<li>Expense ratio: 0.08%</li>
<li>Index tracked: Consumer Discretionary Select Sector Index</li>

</ul>
2. Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>)
Being majorly capital intensive, lower inflation and interest rates benefit tech stocks. When borrowing costs fall, tech firms can invest more in innovation and expansion, providing a fillip to profits and stock performance. XLK offers wide exposure to the technology sector, making it a parallel beneficiary.

</ul>
3. iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYR#NYSE">IYR</a>)
The real estate sector often thrives in a low-interest-rate environment. Lower mortgage rates can boost housing demand, while real estate investment trusts (REITs), which typically carry high debt levels, can enjoy cheaper finance operations. IYR provides exposure to U.S. real estate companies and REITs.

</ul>
Economic Backdrop
Inflation cooled in February, a breather investors who had a lot to worry about in the past few weeks. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44285648/wall-street-rebounds-as-cooling-inflation-draws-tech-dip-buyers-whats-driving-markets-wednesday">headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped</a> from 3.0% in January to 2.8% in February, below economist expectations of 2.9%. This marked the first decline after four months of increasing price pressures. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, also moderated, coming in at 3.1% year-over-year, down from 3.3% in January.
These developments reinforce the Federal Reserve's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44274165/inflation-cools-more-than-expected-in-february-strengthens-the-case-for-fed-rate-cuts">likelihood of cutting interest rates</a> in 2025. Now, economic growth is projected to slow in the first quarter and investment banks have revised GDP forecasts downward, with the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model predicting a potential 2.4% contraction. This strengthens expectations for rate cuts, as evident from CME FedWatch Tool survey which shows traders assigning nearly an 80% probability of a reduction by June.

Smart ETF Picks For A Cooling Inflation Era

After Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>) became the first U.S. firm to use Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) new artificial intelligence clusters, its CEO and founder, Jack Dorsey said that he expects it to be 30 times more powerful as compared to current implementations.
What Happened: Leveraging tens of thousands of GB200 Superchips, Nvidia&#8217;s DGX SuperPOD with GB200 systems delivers the computational power needed to train and run state-of-the-art AI models with trillions of parameters.
Dorsey's Block became the first North American company to deploy this cluster for AI research. Following its &#8220;codename goose&#8221; AI framework launch, this move reinforces Block&#8217;s commitment to AI innovation.
Thanking the Jensen Huang-led chipmaker, Dorsey in an X post said that he expects the training and research on these new systems to be 30 times more powerful than any existing system.

Benzinga tracks 150 analyst firms and reports on their stock expectations. Analysts typically arrive at their conclusions by predicting how much money a company will make in the future, usually the upcoming five years, and how risky or predictable that company's revenue streams are.
Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

Intel has now soared over 27% this week, tracking its best weekly performance since 1974.
