Nvidia made history on July 9, 2025, by becoming the first publicly traded company to reach a $4 trillion market valuation, surpassing tech giants Apple and Microsoft. This unprecedented milestone was driven by the explosive demand for Nvidia’s AI chips, which power the data centers behind the generative AI boom fueling companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and OpenAI.
After a sluggish start to the year, Nvidia’s stock surged over 2.5% in intraday trading, hitting an all-time high of $164 per share and pushing its market cap beyond $4 trillion. This remarkable growth reflects a nearly 70% increase in revenue in the first quarter of 2025 alone, exceeding $44 billion, with forecasts for continued strong sales. The company’s shares have soared about 20% in 2025 and an astonishing 1,500% over the past five years, highlighting investor confidence in Nvidia’s leadership in AI infrastructure.
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang has been credited with steering the company to the forefront of the AI revolution, as global investments in AI infrastructure continue to accelerate, with spending expected to surpass $200 billion in the coming years.
Despite challenges such as trade tensions and tariffs, Nvidia’s dominant position in the semiconductor industry and its integral role in powering AI applications have made it the most valuable company in the world, reshaping the landscape of technology and markets globally.
