Nvidia Stock Has Underperformed the Semiconductor Sector in 2026. Will It Skyrocket in the Second Half?
The arrival of Nvidia's Vera Rubin processors could give the stock a much-needed boost in the second half of 2026.
Overview
It has been a frustrating year for Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) investors, as the tech giant's shares have barely delivered any gains so far in 2026. The PHLX Semiconductor Sector index, for comparison, has registered remarkable gains of 79% this year.

So, will the market give Nvidia enough credit for its impressive financial performance and help the stock rally in the second half of 2026?
