Nvidia becomes first company to reach $4 trillion valuation

Nvidia has made history as the first publicly traded company to surpass a $4 trillion market value, driven by an AI-fueled investor boom.

Shares rose 2.5% in early trading, climbing above $164 — a stark jump from just $14 at the start of 2023.

Once valued under $600 billion two years ago, Nvidia has now eclipsed Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Google to become the largest company on Wall Street. Its stock now holds more influence over the S&P 500 than any company except Apple.

The explosive growth of Nvidia and other AI-focused firms has been a key factor behind the S&P 500’s recent record-setting rallies, even as inflation and U.S. trade policies under President Donald Trump raise economic concerns.
