Nvidia is worth about $5.5 trillion. Alphabet about $4.1 trillion. Microsoft about $3.8 trillion. So what would it take to repeat Nvidia's run? A 100x gain from here puts Nvidia near $550 trillion.

It means the opportunity has moved underneath it... to the layer every AI company has to pay to use.Watch The AI Gold Rush Briefing →2/10/2025monthly$0.0450 - 12.47%2/26/20252/26/20253/20/202511/8/2024monthly$0.0450 - 12.6%1/29/20251/29/20252/19/202511/8/2024monthly$0.0450 - 12.6%12/27/202412/27/20241/22/202511/8/2024monthly$0.0450-$0.015025.00%12.33%11/26/202411/26/202412/19/2024This table shows Prospect Capital's monthly dividend history, including payout amounts, yield, dividend changes, and key dates.
