Nvidia Becomes First Public Company with $4 Trillion Valuation

Nvidia has become the first publicly traded company to reach a $4 trillion market valuation, surpassing previous leaders Microsoft and Apple. The company's dominance in AI chip manufacturing, especially GPUs that power large language models like ChatGPT, has driven its stock to surge over 1,455% in five years and over 22% year-to-date. Despite geopolitical challenges, including U.S. export restrictions on China costing up to $8 billion in lost sales, Nvidia's investor confidence remains strong. This milestone follows Nvidia crossing the $3 trillion and $2 trillion marks in recent years, cementing its role as a global tech powerhouse. Analysts suggest that if AI growth continues and no market crash occurs, Nvidia could potentially reach a $10 trillion valuation within 2-3 years. Nvidia's rise reflects the broader AI-driven market rally amid ongoing economic and political uncertainties.
