Better Buy: NVIDIA vs. Texas Instruments

NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) usually attract different types of investors. NVIDIA, the market leader in gaming GPUs, usually attracts growth-oriented investors. Texas Instruments, which sells analog and embedded chips to a wide range of industries, attracts conservative investors with its big buybacks and stable dividends.

NVIDIA's stock rallied over 180% this year as it dazzled investors with the growth of its gaming and data center businesses. TI's stock only advanced about 10% as the macro-sensitive auto and industrial sectors throttled its growth throughout the U.S.-China trade war and the COVID-19 crisis.

But past performance never guarantees future gains, so we shouldn't assume NVIDIA will keep outperforming TI over the next few quarters. Instead, we should take a fresh look at both chipmakers and see which stock has more upside potential.
