Nvidia Becomes First Company to Reach $4 Trillion Valuation
Nvidia, the American chipmaker, has made history by becoming the world’s first company to achieve a market valuation of $4 trillion. This milestone was reached when its shares rose above $164 early on Wednesday.
Just a couple of weeks ago, Nvidia shares hit an all-time high, but ongoing investor interest has propelled the stock even further. The company has notably thrived due to the booming demand for artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly in its data center business, which reported sales of $39.1 billion in the last quarter.
Now led by CEO Jensen Huang, Nvidia has outperformed other tech giants like Apple and Microsoft to reach this impressive valuation. The market cap is calculated by multiplying the share price by the total number of shares, giving a clear picture of Nvidia’s worth.
Matt Britzman, a senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, called this achievement a “historic moment for US markets.” He emphasized that Nvidia’s technology is vital for both startups and established tech companies, making it a crucial player in the fast-evolving AI landscape. Despite potential challenges like supply chain issues and political changes, Nvidia’s ability to innovate keeps it ahead of the competition.
Britzman noted that, even after crossing the $4 trillion mark, Nvidia remains an appealing choice for investors looking to capitalize on the AI boom, as it is both a key player and an innovator in this field.
Even after this landmark achievement, Nvidia shares experienced some fluctuations, with a slight decrease noted due to profit-taking. However, they still showed an increase of 1.7% by mid-afternoon, demonstrating strong performance overall.
In the last month, Nvidia’s shares are up over 14%, and they have seen a rise of 21% in 2025, bouncing back from lows earlier in the year. This remarkable recovery comes after the impact of initial tariffs announced by former President Donald Trump back in April.
