Nvidia 's has become the first public company to touch the ‘magic’ $4 trillion market value. The company’s stock market valuation officially closed above $4 trillion for the first time on Thursday (July 10) after shares of the AI chipmaker ended the trading session up 0.75% at $164.10, pushing its market capitalisation to $4.004 trillion. This milestone extends Nvidia's significant lead over tech giants Apple and Microsoft, as it continues to benefit from an increasing demand for its AI technologies.
According to a report by news agency Reuters, the company's market value briefly touched the $4 trillion mark on Wednesday (July 9) before closing just shy at approximately $3.97 trillion. To put its scale in perspective, Nvidia is now worth more than the combined value of all publicly listed companies in the United Kingdom, the report added.
Nvidia races past Microsoft and Apple, thanks to AI chip demand
Nvidia first reached a $1 trillion market value in June 2023 and has since tripled that valuation in roughly one year. This rapid growth outpaces both Apple and Microsoft, the only other US firms with market capitalisations exceeding $3 trillion.
Nvidia's high-end AI processors are at the forefront of an intense race among tech heavyweights including Microsoft, Amazon, Google-parent company Alphabet, and Facebook-parent Meta Platforms. These companies are investing in building AI data centers to secure their position in the rapidly evolving technology landscape.
Despite its rapid ascent, Nvidia faces potential headwinds. The company is particularly exposed to ongoing trade tensions between Washington and Beijing, which include restrictions on exports of its most powerful chips to China, the report said.
Microsoft, Apple take up second and third positions
Currently, Microsoft holds the position of the second most valuable US company with a market capitalisation of $3.73 trillion. Meanwhile, Apple's stock has seen a 15% tumble so far in 2025, leaving its market value at $3.17 trillion due to the iPhone maker being slower to integrate AI into its product and service offerings.
