Nvidia has made history by becoming the first company to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization.
The chipmaker’s shares surged by 2.5% on Wednesday, pushing its valuation beyond the previous record held by Apple in December 2024.
The rally is driven by soaring demand for artificial intelligence technologies and Nvidia’s dominant role in the AI hardware space.
Microsoft currently holds the second spot among U.S. companies, with a market cap of $3.75 trillion.
Nvidia's stock has jumped more than 70% since hitting a low on April 4. The company's current share price stands at $163.02.
This record-breaking valuation comes as tech giants like OpenAI, Amazon, and Microsoft pour hundreds of billions of dollars into building massive data centers to power the AI revolution.
Nvidia is at the center of this wave, supplying the chips and systems that make advanced AI possible — not just for gaming, but also for creative industries and real-world applications.
In Q1 of 2025, Nvidia reported a 70% surge in revenue, crossing $44 billion. It now holds the largest weighting on the S&P 500 at 7.3%, ahead of Apple (around 7%) and Microsoft (6%).
Nvidia first crossed the $1 trillion mark in June 2023. Since then, its value has more than tripled in just a year, solidifying its position as the go-to provider for AI infrastructure — from core silicon chips to entire data center solutions.
