Nvidia First Company to Hit $4 Trillion Market Cap
Nvidia First Company to Hit $4 Trillion Market Cap
The News
Nvidia stock jumped more than 2% on Wednesday, topping a $4 trillion market cap for the first time as investors scooped up shares of the tech giant building the bulk of the hardware for the generative artificial intelligence boom.
The chipmaker is the first company to ever achieve this market value.
Nvidia is the world’s most valuable company, surpassing Microsoft and Apple, both of which hit the $3 trillion mark before Nvidia. Microsoft is also one of Nvidia’s biggest and most important customers.
Timeline
The California-based company, which was founded in 1993, first passed the $2 trillion mark in February 2024, and surpassed $3 trillion in June.
Last month, Nvidia said that a recent export restriction on its H20 chips created for China would cost it $8 billion in lost sales.
Reactions
“The $50 billion China market is effectively closed to U.S. industry,” Huang said during a May earnings call.
Huang previously told CNBC that getting blocked from selling chips in China would be a “tremendous loss” for the company.

Nvidia has profited heavily from the growing demand for AI hardware and chips since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. The company has positioned itself as the decisive leader in creating the graphics processing units that power large language models.
The surge in demand has boosted shares in the chipmaking behemoth more than fifteenfold over the last five years. Shares are up more than 15% over the last month and 22% since the start of the year.
The recent rally in Nvidia has come despite geopolitical tensions and ongoing chip curbs that have hampered sales to China.
