Many investors, especially inexperienced investors, typically buy stocks in companies with a good story, even if the company is losing money. Unfortunately, these high-risk investments often have little chance of return, and many investors pay a price to learn their lesson. Although cash-rich companies may suffer losses for years, they must eventually generate profits. Otherwise, investors will move on and the company will decline.
If this type of company isn’t your style, and you like companies that generate revenue and even profit, you might be interested in NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA). This doesn’t necessarily indicate whether it’s undervalued or not, but the profitability of the business is enough to justify some valuation, especially if it’s growing.
