Nvidia becomes first $5 trillion firm as AI rally picks up steam
"Nvidia Corp. achieved a historic $5 trillion market capitalization on Wednesday as Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang's spree of deals catapults the artificial intelligence frenzy to new heights. The shares rallied as much as 5.6% to $212.19 as of 11:00 a.m. New York time, propelling Nvidia over the milestone. It's only been four months since the company cracked the $4 trillion barrier, and the rally has accelerated as Huang forges new agreements to supply companies from Nokia Oyj to Samsung Electronics Co."
"Nvidia has become the most-important stock in a bull market that's been driven by optimism for AI to revolutionize the global economy. With a 50% gain this year through Tuesday's close, the stock is single handedly responsible for nearly a fifth of the S&P 500 Index's 17% advance in 2025. The next two biggest companies are Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc., with valuations of about $4 trillion each."
Nvidia reached a $5 trillion market capitalization after shares jumped as much as 5.6% to $212.19, building on a rally that passed $4 trillion just four months earlier. CEO Jensen Huang secured partnerships to supply chips to firms including Nokia, Samsung and others, and unveiled a system linking quantum computers to its AI chips. The stock's 50% year-to-date gain accounted for nearly one-fifth of the S&P 500's 17% advance in 2025, pushing Nvidia's S&P weighting toward 9%. Discussions about possible exports of a downgraded Blackwell chip to China and projected half-trillion-dollar chip revenues also supported gains.
