A historical record: Nvidia becomes the first company in the world with a market value of $5 trillion
30 October 02:35
Nvidia has become the first publicly traded company to be valued at $5 trillion, thanks to investors’ confidence in the development of artificial intelligence. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to Reuters.
Nvidia shares rose by 4.5% to $210.11 per unit during morning trading, raising the company’s market value to $5.1 trillion. The new record was set less than four months after the company’s capitalization reached $4 trillion in July.
This record demonstrates Nvidia’s rapid transformation from a graphics chip maker to a key player in the global technology arena. Under the leadership of founder and CEO Jensen Huang, the company has created cutting-edge H100 and Blackwell chips that have become the foundation of large language models that power tools like ChatGPT and Elon Musk’s xAI.
Share price growth and market impact
Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, Nvidia’s stock has risen 12-fold, contributing to the S&P 500’s record performance and raising discussions about a possible overheating of the tech market.
After a series of recent announcements of $500 billion in orders and plans to build seven supercomputers for the US government, the company’s shares rose 3% to $207.04, bringing its capitalization to $5.03 trillion.
At current prices, Huang’s stake in the company is estimated at about $179.2 billion, making him the eighth richest person in the world.
Geopolitical significance
Nvidia’s dominance in the AI sector is attracting the attention of global regulators. US export restrictions on advanced chips have made the company an important element of technological competition with China. During the conference, Jensen Huang emphasized the role of America First policy in stimulating domestic investment, while warning that excluding China from the Nvidia ecosystem would limit US access to half of the world’s AI developers.
Although Nvidia remains the clear leader in the AI race, large tech companies are competing with Apple and Microsoft, which have also reached $4 trillion in market value in recent months.
Nvidia plans to release its quarterly results on November 19, 2025, which will become another marker for assessing the state of the company and the AI market in general.
