NVDA offers superior revenue growth across key periods, better profitability, and relatively lower valuation.

  • NVDA’s quarterly revenue growth was 69.2%, vs. MCHP’s -26.8%.
  • In addition, its Last 12 Months growth came in at 86.2%, ahead of MCHP’s -42.3%.
  • NVDA leads on profitability over both periods – LTM margin of 58.0% and 3-year average of 45.1%.

That is one way to look at stocks. Trefis High Quality Portfolio evaluates much more, and is designed to reduce stock-specific risk while giving upside exposure
