Last Tuesday Nvidia shed over $279 billion in value. It was the biggest one-day paper loss for a corporation in the history of the stock market. As a CNN report put it, “only 27 companies on the planet are worth as much as Nvidia lost in value on Tuesday.”

Analysts are expecting Nvidia stock to head higher in the next 12 months. The company's solid moat in the AI chip market could ensure healthy levels of growth in the coming year. Nvidia's improving earnings projections indicate that the chipmaker could indeed head higher and deliver robust gains over the next year.

It’s Fed decision day—and it'll be difficult for the chip maker's shares to make gains until investors have more clarity about the central bank's next move.
