Nvidia reaches record market capitalization of four billion

NEW YORK, New York.- On Wednesday, chipmaker Nvidia reached the $4 trillion market capitalization mark, a milestone never before achieved by any other company.

Founded in 1993, Nvidia has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the last two years thanks to the artificial intelligence boom: it surpassed the two trillion market capitalization mark in February of last year, and then the three trillion mark just four months later, in June 2024.

If Nvidia remains at least above $3.915 trillion at the close of trading today, it will have reached another daily record, as only Apple has managed to reach that figure at the close of trading so far, according to Dow Jones Market Data .

Only two other companies in history have surpassed three trillion in market capitalization: Microsoft and Apple , which demonstrates the unattainable throne that the technology sector has achieved in the corporate sphere and its currently unbeatable dominance on a global scale.

In early trading on Wall Street , Nvidia shares are trading at $163.83, up 2.39%. Nvidia's ripple effect has spread to the entire technology sector , which is up 0.95% at this time, an effect that benefits Microsoft (1.67%) and Amazon (1.77%) and, to a lesser extent, Apple (0.01%).

Nvidia's rise comes despite pressure from the tariff war , particularly tensions between the US and China , as well as other Asian countries on which Nvidia is heavily dependent for its supplies.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned in May that curbing chip exports to China through tariffs had been “a failure” because it left more victims in the US than in China, and stressed that the Asian country, despite still being far behind the US in the artificial intelligence sector, had great potential and could quickly reduce that gap.
