Nvidia Overtakes Apple as Market Capitalization Surpasses $3 Trillion

Read More As market capital surges past Apple, Nvidia is now worth more than $3 trillion.

This marks a significant milestone in Nvidia’s unprecedented market penetration.

Nvidia, which broke $3 trillion in market value on Wednesday—making it the world’s second-largest company according to that metric—was only one of the winning stocks. Resurgent demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) chips, one of the most exciting tech markets at the moment, fuels this explosive growth. The 5% increase in the US chip designer’s shares resulted in a market capitalization of $3.01 trillion, just above Apple’s $3 trillion. Earlier this year, Apple was overtaken by Microsoft as the world’s most valuable listed company.

The Age of AI: Nvidia Reigns

Nvidia’s stock has seen a surge in investors, and major tech players like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have been investing billions in their AI chips. The chips run the new AI models, which Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is confident enough to say will anchor a new industrial era where businesses worldwide operate more efficiently thanks to new, AI-driven functionalities. Sales of Hopper, Nvidia’s current-generation chips, drove the revenue spike. The company also declared a 10-for-one stock split, which will be effective on June 7.

Its outlandish performance in the Nvidia year has gone a long way towards inflating Wall Street as a whole, helping to account for over a third of gains in the S&P 500 index in 2016. The S&P 500 climbed 1.2% on Wednesday and has gained 12.3% for the year. However, the base has become so significant so quickly that some worry they may be seeing a bubble in the market.

Market position and valuation

A look at Nvidia Nvidia, on the other hand, has been a bright spot in the tech world, and not only did the company continue to post impressive earnings, but also its forecast. andLewis:   Even with all of that, Nvidia’s current valuation isn’t near all-time highs if you look at it in terms of historical or forward earnings. Nvidia shares, starting in 2018 at 23 times expected earnings over the next 12 months, including Wednesday, were trading at roughly 42 times forward earnings. That works out to a little less than 31 times trailing sales, more than Apple’s 29 times, but south of what Nvidia fetched in its first wave of AI mania last year. The advantage with Nvidia is that they are one of the only companies to prove up AI revenue, Stuart Kaiser, head of US equity trading strategy at Citigroup, said.

Despite fierce competition from AMD and Intel, Nvidia has led the way in introducing the most advanced AI hardware. In addition, the company provides the necessary software technologies to develop AI applications. Jensen Huang has committed to a “one-year cadence” of new chips, with the “Blackwell” items set to debut in March. This commitment is particularly strong during the “largest product cycle ever in 2020” due to the company’s recent innovations.

**OUTLOOK AND LAUNCH PRODUCT**

At the Taiwanese computex conference, Huang also teased the next-generation “Rubin” processors, which he said will launch for sale in 2026. In the meantime, Apple is preparing for its own annual developer conference on June 10, where it will have an opportunity to lay out its potential plans for implementing generative AI features within its products. Apple has been largely out of the generative AI market lately, but Cook remains optimistic about the company’s future in this area. An unexpectedly large stock buyback of more than $110 billion in May helped Apple stock, which had started the year at a low point.

Conclusion: An Age of New Technologies

It is a significant milestone for Nvidia to now be larger than Apple in terms of market capital. So, in a nutshell, the ongoing need for AI technology seems to guarantee that Nvidia will remain near the top of the industry for quite some time. By progressing in innovation and making the right investments in the future, Nvidia is poised to continue to lead AI and may never relinquish its lead. In doing so, this unto itself speaks to the immediate success of the company while also illustrating the latent power that AI has to change the global economy.
