On Tuesday, Nvidia overtook Microsoft as the most valuable business in the world, thanks in large part to its high-end processors, which are crucial in the competition to dominate artificial intelligence technologies.
The chipmaker’s market value increased to $3.335 trillion, or 3.5%, on Thursday, only days after surpassed Apple, the maker of the iPhone, to take the second place.
Microsoft’s shares fell 0.45%, bringing its stock market worth down to $3.317 trillion. After losing more than 1% of its value, Apple’s stock is now worth $3.286 trillion. The extraordinary increase in its market capitalization over the last 12 months has come to represent a Wall Street panic sparked by hope for the future of artificial intelligence.
While the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have reached all-time highs thanks to Nvidia’s surge, some investors are concerned that unchecked euphoria about artificial intelligence (AI) may fade if indications of a slowdown in expenditure on the technology surface. “We’re all just trading in it; it’s Nvidia’s market,” stated Interactive Brokers chief market strategist Steve Sosnick.

Based on LSEG statistics, It has emerged as the most traded business on Wall Street, with an average daily turnover of $50 billion, compared to about $10 billion for Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla. Currently, the chip manufacturer represents around 16% of total S&P 500 company trade.
While Microsoft’s stock has increased by around 19% this year, its price has nearly quadrupled as a result of demand for its top-tier chips exceeding supply. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms are vying with each other to develop AI computing capabilities and incorporate the technology into their goods and services.
Since AI chips are so much sought after and are seen to be far better than those of its rivals, there is a shortage of them. In the eyes of many investors, It is the biggest beneficiary of the current wave of AI research.
Oliver Pursche, senior vice president at Wealthspire Advisors in New York, said, “Nvidia has been getting a lot of positive attention and has been doing a lot of things very correctly, but investors should be careful because a small misstep is likely to cause a major correction in the stock.”

With Tuesday’s increase, its market capitalization increased by almost $110 billion, or the full value of Lockheed Martin, and its stock reached a record high. In just nine months, the company’s market worth increased from $1 trillion to $2 trillion in February, and it took slightly more than three months to reach $3 trillion in June.
The company has routinely surpassed Wall Street’s high expectations for revenue and earnings since its blowout prediction almost a year ago. As businesses race to integrate AI applications, demand for its graphics processors is far exceeding supply.
The demand for Nvidia’s Blackwell AI processors may outpace supply “well into next year,” according to company officials in May. The stock’s gains have been overtaken by sharp rises in analysts’ forecasts for its future profits, which has caused a decline in the stock’s earnings value.
According to LSEG statistics, it was trading at 44 times forecast profits as of late, down from over 84 approximately a year ago. The company’s divided its shares 10 for 1 last week, making its highly valued stock more appealing to individual investors.
