NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) tops our list for being one of the best stocks to buy . It continues to dominate the AI and data center markets with groundbreaking developments in September 2025. The company posted second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $46.7 billion, a 56% year-over-year increase, driven by strong demand for its Blackwell Data Center products, which grew 17% sequentially. CEO Jensen Huang described the Blackwell AI platform as a “generational leap” in infrastructure, with production scaling quickly to meet demand from advanced reasoning AI models.

A major highlight this month is NVDA’s strategic partnership with OpenAI, involving up to $100 billion in investment and a commitment to supply advanced data center chips for next-generation AI systems. This alliance strengthens the firm’s central role in the AI ecosystem and significantly expands its long-term market potential. In addition, the company announced a $5 billion investment in Intel stock, with plans to co-develop custom AI infrastructure for data centers and PCs, aiming at a $50 billion market opportunity.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) also introduced Rubin CPX, a new GPU designed to handle massive-context inference tasks, enabling million-token coding and generative video at unprecedented speed and efficiency. This innovation supports its vision of transforming data centers into fully integrated “AI factories.”
