The metaverse is expected to be the future of work and play, and an increasingly common aspect of our daily lives. Other companies with early involvement include Facebook, Roblox, Unity Software, and Microsoft. All of these except for Facebook are currently listed in the top 10 holdings of the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (NYSEMKT: META), with Nvidia leading the way in asset weight at 8.7%, a full 3% asset weight higher than the second-ranked holding.
Nvidia stock has been on a tear lately, supported by second-quarter record revenue of $3 billion and a 4-for-1 stock split on July 20. But even after a year-to-date share price surge of 71%, it likely still has plenty of room to grow. The average analyst target is slightly above the current price of $223, but the high is $328, representing a potential 47% increase.
That might seem high after such big gains of late, but according to research firm Strategy Analytics, the global metaverse market is expected to reach $280 billion by 2025 -- six times its $46 billion value in 2020.$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ $Facebook(FB)$ $Roblox Corporation(RBLX)$ $Unity Software Inc.(U)$ $Microsoft(MSFT)$
