U.S. chipmaker Nvidia has reclaimed its title as the world’s most valuable company after its shares surged to a record high.
The stock closed at $154.31 on Wednesday, up 4.3%, lifting its market value to $3.77 trillion—overtaking Microsoft once again.
This new peak beats Nvidia’s previous record closing of $149.43, set on 6 January.
Nvidia dominates the market for graphics processing units (GPUs), which are crucial for powering artificial intelligence tasks and building large language models. But the pace of this year’s gains has surprised many, especially given the company’s lack of access to China—once a key market.
In recent months, Nvidia has faced growing restrictions from the U.S. government, including fresh export controls announced in April by the Trump administration. These rules blocked sales of Nvidia’s H20 AI chip, which had been redesigned to meet earlier limits.
As a result, Nvidia had to write down $4.5 billion in inventory and warned that the China restrictions would cost it around $8 billion in lost sales. The company says it is currently not relying on any revenue from China.
Despite this, Nvidia’s May earnings revealed a 69% jump in year-over-year sales, with its data centre division—which supports AI development—up 73%.
