In a major market shakeup, Nvidia reclaimed its status as the world’s top company on Tuesday, surpassing Apple with a market cap of $3.44 trillion. The surge comes as demand for Nvidia’s AI chips pushes its value to unprecedented heights.
Nvidia Surges to Top of Global Market Value
During the trading session on Tuesday, Nvidia's stock price increased, propelling the chipmaker back to the top of the list of the most valuable firms in the world based on market capitalization, surpassing Apple again.
According to Investopedia, the market capitalization of the chipmaker Nvidia increased to approximately $3.44 trillion as a result of the 2.4% increase in Nvidia shares during intraday trading on Tuesday. Apple's market capitalization remained at $3.37 trillion as its shares moved up by 0.6%.
The most recent action taken by Nvidia to restore its position as the most valuable business in the world comes after the chipmaker briefly surpassed Apple by the end of Monday.
Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft Compete in $3 Trillion Club
As the only three firms in the world with market capitalization that are greater than $3 trillion, Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft have been engaged in a fierce competition for the title this year. The market capitalization of Microsoft was approximately $3.08 trillion on Tuesday, an increase of almost 1.5% for the company's shares.
Since the beginning of the year, the value of Nvidia shares has increased by more than twofold. This is due to the fact that large technology companies like Meta and Alphabet, the parent company of Google, are increasing their expenditure on processors to power their artificial intelligence (AI) products. This has resulted in Nvidia's revenue and stock price reaching record levels.
AI Demand Drives Nvidia’s Record Gains
Using remarks from recent earnings calls, analysts at William Blair boosted their revenue and profit projections for Nvidia over the next two fiscal years.
This was done in response to statements made by executives in the technology industry who stated that they anticipate continuing to increase spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure over the course of the following year.
