Nvidia, the global chipmaking powerhouse, has become the first company in history to hit a $4 trillion market valuation.
The milestone was reached on Wednesday as its stock briefly surged to $164.42 before easing slightly.
Founded by Taiwan-born Jensen Huang, Nvidia has ridden the wave of AI innovation with unmatched success.
“We are building the next industrial revolution,” Huang once said—an ambition many on Wall Street now believe.
AI Powering Record Growth
Nvidia’s market value now surpasses the GDP of nations like the UK, France, and India.
Its advanced GPUs, vital for training artificial intelligence, power everything from driverless cars to humanoid robots.
In just 2025, Nvidia’s stock has jumped 20%, outpacing the Nasdaq’s modest 6% gain.
The company’s Blackwell system, unveiled in March, promises a future where most projects “are created and brought to life long before they are physically realised.”
That vision has convinced investors that Nvidia sits at the centre of a global transformation driven by AI.
Tariffs, Setbacks, and Strategy
Nvidia’s rise hasn’t come without bumps.
Early in 2025, fears around China’s DeepSeek venture caused Nvidia’s market value to drop by $600 billion.
Even so, the company bounced back, earning nearly $19 billion in Q1—despite a $4.5 billion hit from U.S. export restrictions.
It also secured a deal in May to build AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia during former U.S. President Donald Trump’s state visit.
Analysts believe that such strategic moves could offset trade tensions triggered by Trump’s new tariff regime.
Meanwhile, Big Tech rivals like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google are racing alongside Nvidia in the high-stakes AI war.
