The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) advanced 29% in 2024, and history says that momentum could spill into 2025. Since its inception in 1971, the Nasdaq has gained over 20% in 20 years. In other words, history says the Nasdaq could advance 16% in 2025, but most Wall Street analysts see even more upside in Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX), two companies that reset their soaring share prices by completing 10-for-1 stock splits in 2024.
