Question from an amateur trader

I'm 51 and looking to retire in 5 years. Just for context. I have doubled my IRA in 4 years with no deposits and self directed in stocks, making the 5 year plan realistic. Just looking for other perspectives. My question is this, If we take NVIDIA as the gold standard as to chips and AI stocks(that's possibly a big if) but if we do, then looking at GOOGL, META, and MSFT, They seem extremely affordable even after their respective runs, am I out of line thinking that?

And, looking at SANDISK and TTMI and their respectively low outstanding shares, they could easily split 10 for 1 and then 4x from where they are now. Obviously I'm talking about stocks that I'm interested in and not including multiple others that could be included in the convo, but am I completely wrong? Thank you for any and all opinions
