Nvidia becomes the first company in the world to surpass $5 trillion in market capitalization

Nvidia's shares today marked a new historic milestone by surpassing $5 trillion in market value , driven by global enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and recent statements by US President Donald Trump about possible talks with China regarding chip trade.

During pre-market trading, the company's shares rose 3.5% and climbed more than 5% after the market opened. Now, the tech giant has limited its gains to 2%, to $206.90, making Nvidia the first company in the world to reach this market capitalization figure. This advance comes just four months after the firm crossed the $4 trillion mark.

The leadership of Jensen Huang , CEO of Nvidia , has been key to sustaining this boom. In recent months, the executive has sealed deals with giants like Nokia, Samsung Electronics, and Hyundai Motor Group , solidifying the company's position as the epicenter of the artificial intelligence revolution.

“A $5 trillion market capitalization would have been unthinkable just a few years ago,” Keith Lerner , chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services, told Bloomberg. “The market is heavily betting that artificial intelligence will be truly transformative.”

The recent surge has also been fueled by Trump 's announcement that he plans to discuss Nvidia's Blackwell chip with Chinese President Xi Jinping . Months ago, the former president hinted at the possibility of allowing exports of a scaled-down version of the processor to China, which now raises expectations of an imminent agreement.

Meanwhile, Huang unveiled new strategic alliances and downplayed warnings about a potential AI “bubble.” The executive stated that the company’s latest chips could generate up to half a trillion dollars in revenue and announced the development of a system connecting quantum computers with artificial intelligence processors.

According to Bloomberg, over 90% of the 80 analysts covering Nvidia stock recommend buying it, with an average price target of $225.48, implying an upside potential of over 7%. Even so, some experts warn about the dizzying valuations: since October 2022, the stock has risen by more than 1,400%.

Dan Eye , chief investment officer of Fort Pitt Capital Group , noted that Nvidia could lose some of its market share to competitors such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Broadcom, especially if AI growth does not materialize at the pace the market expects.

“Nvidia has become an almost impossible asset to ignore,” Eye said, “but its current valuation reflects very high expectations.”

Meanwhile, the company continues to lead the AI-driven bull market, accounting for nearly a fifth of the S&P 500's gains so far in 2025. With this new record, Nvidia solidifies its position as the world's most valuable company, surpassing Microsoft and Apple, both with valuations around $4 trillion.
