According to CNN, Nvidia shares rose 2.5% after the market opened on July 9 and hit a record high for the day, bringing the company's market value above $4 trillion.
Historic moment
The US chipmaker has made a remarkable run to a record high and its shares have soared about 20% this year thanks to its leading role in driving the artificial intelligence boom.
Nvidia has beaten Apple and Microsoft to become the first public company in the world to reach a market capitalization of $4 trillion. What's remarkable about their growth rate is that Nvidia will only reach the $1 trillion mark in 2023.
Apple entered 2025 as the world's most valuable company with a market capitalization of about $3.9 trillion before its shares plunged in recent months amid President Donald Trump's tariff turmoil.
Nvidia and Microsoft have been trading places as the world's most valuable company in recent months, before Nvidia edged ahead to hit the first $4 trillion mark.
Nvidia’s chips power the data centers that companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google need to fuel their AI models and cloud services, and investments in AI are only expected to increase. Global spending on AI infrastructure is expected to surpass $200 billion by 2028, according to market research firm The International Data Corporation.
Nvidia generated $44.1 billion in revenue in the quarter ended April, up 69% from the same period last year.
“There is one company in the world that is fundamental to the AI revolution and that is Nvidia,” Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives wrote in a research note on June 27.
Nvidia has been hit by being caught in the US-China tech war, but not as badly as expected
The company has become known for its graphics processing units, which have become a favorite among gamers, and is now moving forward with new AI models designed to power robots and autonomous vehicles.
At its annual developer conference in March, the company announced an update to its sought-after Blackwell chip called Blackwell Ultra, which the company said would better support AI models capable of more complex inference.
“This is a historic moment for Nvidia, the tech space is flexing its muscles and showing that the AI Revolution is entering its next growth phase led by an AI-powered chip…Nvidia,” said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, adding that he believes Microsoft, currently valued at about $3.77 trillion, will also cross the $4 trillion threshold this summer.
Jensen Huang, the protagonist in the AI "gold rush"
Nvidia’s role in the AI “gold rush” has made CEO Jensen Huang one of the richest people in the world. As of July 8, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index valued him as the 10th richest person, with a net worth of $140 billion. The CEO is also in President Trump’s orbit, elevating his status beyond the tech industry.
Mr. Huang met with the US president and was among several senior tech executives who accompanied him on a trip to Saudi Arabia in May. Nvidia is also a partner in Project Stargate, the $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative Mr. Trump announced in January and is seen as key to his efforts to expand the US tech footprint.
But Nvidia’s success hasn’t been without its bumps. Chinese startup DeepSeek shook Wall Street and Silicon Valley with its powerful but supposedly low-cost AI model earlier this year, raising questions about whether expensive chips and hardware are necessary to advance AI and sending Nvidia’s stock plunging in January.
Nvidia has also been caught in the AI race between Washington and Beijing: The company said it missed out on $2.5 billion in additional revenue for the fiscal quarter ending in April due to restrictions on exporting its H20 AI chips to China.
Nvidia shares fell as much as 37% from January to April as the chipmaker grappled with DeepSeek fears and U.S.-China trade tensions. But since then, Nvidia shares have surged to a new record high, up nearly 74% since the start of April.
CEO Huang sees huge growth opportunities ahead for Nvidia. During an earnings call in May, he said artificial intelligence would become essential to “every country” and “every industry.”
“Of course, we all know that AI is an incredible technology that will change every industry — from the way we write software to healthcare , financial services, retail, and then… I think every industry, from transportation to manufacturing,” Huang said. “And we’re just at the beginning.”
Wall Street analysts expect Nvidia to continue to soar. In a research note released in June, analysts from investment firm Loop Capital estimated Nvidia could reach a market capitalization of $6 trillion by 2028.
“While it may seem hard to believe that Nvidia’s fundamentals could continue to explode from current levels, we reiterate that Nvidia is still essentially a monopoly on key AI technology,” Loop Capital’s Ananda Baruah and Alek Valero wrote in the report.
