Nvidia has overtaken Microsoft to become the worlds most valuable publicly traded company, with a market capitalization of
$3.45 trillion, narrowly surpassing Microsofts $3.44 trillion. This milestone reflects Nvidias dominant position in the AI chip market, fueled by surging demand for its GPUs that power AI applications across major tech firms.
Originally founded in 1993 to produce graphics chips for gaming, Nvidia has transformed into the silicon backbone of the AI revolution. Its GPUs, once designed for rendering 3D images, are now essential for parallel data processing, the core computational task behind artificial intelligence.
The companys stock rose nearly 3% to
$141.40 following its latest earnings report, which revealed a
69% year-over-year revenue increase to
$44.06 billion and adjusted earnings per share of 96 cents for fiscal Q1. This explosive growth underscores Nvidias critical role in powering AI infrastructure for industry giants such as Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon, Oracle, and Elon Musks xAI.
Jensen Huang, Nvidias CEO, recently reflected on the companys journey, stating,
"Building a company and building Nvidia turned out to have been a million times harder than any of us expected it to be." The companys rise highlights the increasing importance of AI chips in the technology landscape and Nvidias supremacy in this sector.
As AI continues to reshape industries, Nvidias market cap milestone signals its pivotal role in the future of computing and artificial intelligence.
