Tech giant Nvidia has made history as the world’s first ever $5 trillion company. This rise in market value has been meteoric for the US-based company that achieved the $1 trillion in market valuation for the first time in June 2023.
Since then, the company has sustained gains that saw it hit the $4 trillion market valuation in the first few days of July 2025. According to a market watch report by the BBC, shares of the chip-making giant gained 5/6 percent to cross the $212 mark as of Wednesday October 29.
These gains were boosted by expected sales in China which experts attributed as influencing investor confidence on the counter. The BBC noted that the company’s valuation has now exceeded the GDP of every country in the world apart from the United States and China.
Eight years ago, the company’s stock was worth less than 1 percent of its current price. Back then, the company’s growth was mainly driven by competition with rival AMD on building the best graphics cards. However, the company pivoted towards artificial intelligence, and tapped into rising demand for chips powering generative AI models such as ChatGPT.
For instance, a related report by Reuters showed that the tech giant’s rise has risen twelve fold since the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022. Reuters quoted Matt Britzman who is senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown – a company that has invested in Nvidia shares – on the growth of Nvidia from a chip-maker to a global leader in tech evolution.
“Nvidia hitting a $5 trillion market cap is more than a milestone; it’s a statement, as Nvidia has gone from chip maker to industry creator. The market continues to underestimate the scale of the opportunity, and Nvidia remains one of the best ways to play the AI theme,” Reuters quoted Britzman.
A spot check on the US market further showed that tech giants including Microsoft and Apple have also been on a bullish run. The two giants have so far crossed the $4 trillion market valuation.
