The surge comes barely three months after it hit the $4 trillion mark,<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Nvidia has become the first company to reach $5 trillion in market value amid a global artificial intelligence arms race.<\/p>\n The chipmaker surge on Wednesday came only three months after the company topped the $4 trillion mark.<\/p>\n list of 3 items<\/span>end of list<\/span><\/section>\n The milestone underscores the company\u2019s swift transformation from a niche graphics-chip designer into the backbone of the global AI industry, turning CEO Jensen Huang into a Silicon Valley icon and making its advanced chips a flashpoint in the tech rivalry between the US and China.<\/p>\n Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, Nvidia\u2019s shares have climbed 12-fold as the AI frenzy propelled the S&P 500 to record highs, igniting a debate on whether frothy tech valuations could lead to the next big bubble.<\/p>\n The new milestone would surpass the total cryptocurrency market value and equal roughly half the size of Europe\u2019s benchmark equities index, the Stoxx 600 index .<\/p>\n \u201cNvidia hitting a $5 trillion market cap is more than a milestone; it\u2019s a statement, as Nvidia has gone from chip maker to industry creator,\u201d said Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, which holds shares in the company.<\/p>\n \u201cThe market continues to underestimate the scale of the opportunity, and Nvidia remains one of the best ways to play the AI theme.\u201d<\/p>\n Huang unveiled $500bn in AI chip orders on Tuesday and said he plans to build seven supercomputers for the US government.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is expected to discuss Nvidia\u2019s Blackwell chip with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday. Sales of the high-end chip have been a key sticking point between the two sides due to Washington\u2019s export controls.<\/p>\n At current prices, CEO Huang\u2019s stake in Nvidia would be worth about $179.2bn, according to regulatory filings and Reuters calculations. He is the world\u2019s eighth-richest person, as per Forbes\u2019 billionaire list.<\/p>\n Born in Taiwan and raised in the US from age nine, Huang has led Nvidia since founding it in 1993. Under his leadership, the company\u2019s H100 and Blackwell processors have become the engines behind large-language models powering tools such as ChatGPT and Elon Musk\u2019s xAI.<\/p>\n While Nvidia remains the clear front-runner in the AI race, Big Tech peers such as Apple and Microsoft have also crossed $4 trillion in market value in recent months.<\/p>\n Analysts say the rally reflects investor confidence in unrelenting AI spending, though some warn valuations may be running hot.<\/p>\n \u201cAI\u2019s current expansion relies on a few dominant players financing each other\u2019s capacity. The moment investors start demanding cash-flow returns instead of capacity announcements, some of these flywheels could seize,\u201d said Matthew Tuttle, CEO of Tuttle Capital Management.<\/p>\n Nvidia is due to report quarterly results on November 19.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s dominance has drawn global regulatory scrutiny, with US export curbs on advanced chips making it a key pawn in Washington\u2019s strategy to limit China\u2019s access to AI technology.<\/p>\n \u201cNvidia clearly brought their story to DC to both educate and gain favour with the US government,\u201d said Bob O\u2019Donnell of TECHnalysis Research. \u201cThey managed to hit most of the hottest and most influential topics in tech.\u201d<\/p>\n The developer conference on Tuesday also served as a platform for Huang to walk a geopolitical tightrope.<\/p>\n He praised Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d policies for accelerating domestic tech investment, while warning that excluding China from Nvidia\u2019s ecosystem could limit US access to half of the world\u2019s AI developers.<\/p>\n Rivals, including Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and several well-funded startups, are seeking to challenge Nvidia\u2019s dominance in high-end AI chips, but it remains the industry\u2019s top choice.<\/p>\n On Wall Street, Nvidia\u2019s stock is surging. As of 10:45am in New York (14:45 GMT) the stock is up 5.1 percent from the market open.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The surge comes barely three months after it hit the $4 trillion mark, Nvidia has become the first company to reach $5 trillion in market value amid a global artificial intelligence arms race. The chipmaker surge on Wednesday came only three months after the company topped the $4 trillion mark.
