- Six decisions on record. Stratrix has verified six of Nvidia's big decisions, each with what happened next. The hardest year after: "5.9 Million Developers Keep Nvidia Winning Against Chips With 1.5x the Compute", with its shares 29 points behind the S&P 500 over the next three years. The best: "Nvidia built the RTX 30 on Samsung's 8nm, then moved gaming chips back to TSMC's 4N for the RTX 40", 1147 points ahead of the S&P 500 over the next three years.
- Profitable every year. Nvidia made money in each of its last eleven fiscal years, from $0.6 billion (fiscal 2016) to $120 billion (fiscal 2026).
