Nvidia’s market value surpassed $4 trillion for the first time at Thursday’s close, cementing the chipmaker’s role not only as the world’s most valuable company, but also as a key player in the Generative AI technology race.
Reuters:
Shares of Nvidia ended up 0.75% at $164.10, giving it a market value of $4.004 trillion and extending its lead over Apple and Microsoft as it benefits from a surge in demand for artificial-intelligence technologies.
Nvidia’s stock market value briefly peaked above $4 trillion on Wednesday before closing at about $3.97 trillion. It is worth more than the combined value of all publicly listed companies in the UK.
Nvidia achieved a $1 trillion market value for the first time in June 2023 and tripled it in about a year, faster than Apple and Microsoft, the only other U.S. firms with market values above $3 trillion.
Microsoft is the second most valuable U.S. company, with a market capitalization of $3.73 trillion. Its shares dipped 0.4% on Thursday.
Apple’s stock has tumbled 15% so far in 2025, leaving its market value at $3.17 trillion, reflecting investor worries that the iPhone maker has been slow to introduce AI into its products and services.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple shareholders should not be satisfied with Apple’s leadership or, rather, lack thereof.
