FactSet tracks 64 analyst ratings on the chip designer's stock. And 51 of them rate Nvidia a buy in that system -- the highest available grade, equivalent to a strong buy on most rating platforms. Nine more call Nvidia an overweight opportunity, and the last four have settled for a hold. None of the 64 financial firms are going below that level.

This will give way to the next wave of AI investments, and if you're looking to cash in on this trend, I've got three companies that are slated to do well.

For many investors, Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM) is a pandemic trade that has long since lost its allure. But Cathie Wood's Ark Invest published a valuation model in 2022 estimating Zoom would reach $1,500 per share by 2026. From the current share price of $67, that forecast implies 2,138% upside in little more than two years.

Snowflake is done buying GPUs until revenue materializes, which is a show to the artificial intelligence growth story.

As a result, Broadcom and Nvidia are positioned to benefit for years as the AI industry expands from 2023's global market size of $136 billion to an estimated $827 billion by 2030. This is one reason owning shares in both is a great way to invest in the secular trend of AI.
