Nvidia becomes world’s first-ever $4 trillion business after another share price surge
Nvidia beats Apple and Microsoft to world first in market surge
- US-based chipmaker Nvidia has become the world's first company to reach a $4 trillion market capitalisation.
- The milestone was achieved on Wednesday as its shares continued to rise, surpassing $164 soon after trading opened.
- Nvidia's success is largely attributed to its central role in the AI revolution, with its data centre business producing essential semiconductor chips.
- CEO Jensen Huang's firm surpassed rivals Apple and Microsoft to achieve this valuation, which was described as a "historic moment for US markets" by analyst Matt Britzman.
- Despite a brief dip following Donald Trump's tariff announcement in early April, Nvidia's shares have risen over 14 per cent in the last month and 21 per cent in 2025.
