Nvidia Corporation has become the first company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market to achieve a market capitalization of US$5 trillion, marking a historic milestone for the semiconductor industry. Shares of the California-based chipmaker jumped 4.88% on Thursday, closing at a record US$201.03.
The company’s stock has skyrocketed over the past year — more than quadrupling in value, rising 44% in the last 12 months and an astonishing 84.47% over just six months. Nvidia’s rapid growth reflects not only strong financial performance but also its central role in the global artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.
Once known primarily for its graphics processing units (GPUs) powering gaming systems, Nvidia has evolved into a leading developer of AI processors that serve as the foundation for machine learning and generative AI technologies across industries. The company’s chips are now critical to the infrastructure of AI-driven computing, cloud data centers, and advanced robotics.
Investors see Nvidia as the defining player in the ongoing shift toward AI-enabled business models — a transformation that continues to propel the company’s market dominance and record-breaking valuation.
