(AP Photo/Michel Euler) SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Silicon Valley chipmaker Nvidia on Wednesday became the first publicly traded company to surpass a $4 trillion market valuation, putting the latest exclamation point on the investor frenzy surrounding an... Although Nvidia’s market value dipped back below $4 trillion by the time the stock market closed, reaching the milestone highlighted the upheaval being unleashed by an AI craze that’s widely viewed as the biggest... Underscoring the changing of the guard, AI bellwether Nvidia is now worth $900 billion more than Apple, which rode the iPhone’s success to become the first publicly traded company to valued at $1 trillion,... Nvidia is the first company to reach a $4 trillion valuation.

The chipmaker’s shares rose as much as 2.5% on Wednesday, pushing past the previous market value record ($3.9 trillion), set by Apple in December. Shares in the AI giant later closed at $162.88, shrinking the company's market value to $3.97 trillion. Nvidia has rallied by more than 70% from its April 4 low, when global stock markets were sent reeling by President Donald Trump’s global tariff rollout. Tech analyst Dan Ives called Wednesday's milestone a “huge historical moment for the U.S. tech sector.” The record value comes as tech giants such as OpenAI, Amazon and Microsoft are spending hundreds of billions of dollars in the race to build massive data centers to fuel the artificial intelligence revolution.

All of those companies are using Nvidia chips to power their services, though some are also developing their own. Nvidia on Wednesday briefly hit $4 trillion in market value, making it the first publicly traded company to hit that milestone. Nvidia stock rose 2.76% after the market opened on Wednesday to hit an intraday record high that pushed its market value above the $4 trillion mark. Nvidia then pared its gains but finished the day up by 1.8%, putting the company’s market value at just below $4 trillion. Nvidia beat Apple and Microsoft to the $4 trillion mark. Apple entered this year as the world’s most valuable company at just about $3.9 trillion before tumbling in recent months amid President Donald Trump’s tariff turmoil.

Nvidia and Microsoft traded places as the world’s most valuable company in recent months, before Nvidia surged ahead to reach the $4 trillion mark first. The US chipmaker has had a remarkable march to record highs and has soared around 21% this year, thanks to its leading role powering the artificial intelligence boom. Nvidia bypassed Apple and Microsoft, the only other US firms with a market value of more than $3 trillion. Nvidia has notched a market capitalisation of $4 trillion, making it the first public company in the world to reach the milestone and solidifying its position as one of Wall Street’s most-favoured stocks. On Wednesday, shares of the leading chip designer rose as much as 2.5 percent to an all-time high of $164, benefiting from the continuing surge in demand for artificial intelligence technologies. The stock’s recent rally comes despite a sluggish start to the year, when the emergence of a Chinese discount artificial intelligence model developed by DeepSeek shook confidence in stocks linked to the sector.

Nvidia achieved a $1 trillion market value for the first time in June 2023 and tripled it in about a year, faster than Apple and Microsoft, the only other United States firms with a...
