In a historic moment for the global tech and finance sectors, Nvidia has become the first publicly traded company to exceed $4 trillion in market value. The milestone was reached on Wednesday, following a 2.5% surge in share prices, pushing the stock to over $164 per share.
The company’s meteoric rise is largely attributed to its dominant role in powering the AI revolution, as demand for its graphics processing units (GPUs) has skyrocketed across industries—from cloud computing to autonomous vehicles.
Just two years ago, Nvidia’s market capitalization stood at under $600 billion. Since early 2023, when its shares traded at around $14, the company’s value has multiplied dramatically—reflecting an explosive growth trajectory fueled by artificial intelligence advancements and aggressive market optimism.
Now the largest company on Wall Street, Nvidia has overtaken tech titans like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Google, cementing its place at the top of the global tech hierarchy. The company’s size means its stock now plays a crucial role in influencing major indexes like the S&P 500, second only to Apple in its sway.
As investors continue to pour into AI-driven innovation, Nvidia’s record-setting valuation underscores a significant shift in the tech landscape—where chips, not just software, are driving the next wave of transformation.
