Nvidia makes history: First ever company to cross $4 trillion market cap

Nvidia Becomes First Company to Cross $4 Trillion Market Cap, Riding AI Boom

In a historic milestone, Nvidia Corporation has officially become the first company in the world to surpass a $4 trillion market capitalization, marking a defining moment in the tech industry. The company’s stock surged 2.5%, reaching a record high of $164 per share, amid sustained investor optimism around artificial intelligence (AI).

A milestone fueled by AI

The other major driver for Nvidia’s meteoric rise has been its prowess in AI chips and data center technology—now at the center of every major transformation across industries, ranging from cloud computing, and autonomous cars, to generating AI and robotics. The recent surge reflects the demand from investors who are betting on Nvidia’s sustained leading position in what is termed the “AI Supercycle” by many analysts.

“AI is no longer the future—it’s the present. And Nvidia is the infrastructure powering that present,” said tech analyst Jordan Greene from Quantum Markets.

Financial powerhouse

Nvidia’s valuation now surpasses that of established tech giants like Apple, Microsoft and Amazon, which had long been swapping places as the world’s top firms in terms of valuation. Nvidia’s meteoric rise in revenue-from-demand for its H100 GPUs and Blackwell platform as a second momentum-has exceeded all expectations during the past few quarters.

• Market Cap: $4.02 trillion (as of July 10, 2025)

• Share Price: $164.00 (up 2.5%)

• YTD Growth: Over 110%

 Industry-Wide Impact

The rise of Nvidia has also lifted global stock markets, particularly the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indexes, of which it is a major constituent. The AI chips manufactured by Nvidia are being supplied to Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, OpenAI, and many other supercomputing programs on national levels across the world.

CEO Jensen Huang’s Vision

Founder and CEO Jensen Huang called the milestone “a testament to Nvidia’s decades-long commitment to innovation and relentless pursuit of computing excellence.”

“This is not just about chips—it’s about reshaping the entire computing paradigm,” Huang said during a brief statement released by the company.
