Nvidia made history on July 10, 2025, by becoming the first public company to reach a market capitalisation of $4 trillion. Nvidia’s shares rose by 2.5% to a record high of $164, driven by demand for AI technology.
Nvidia achieved a market capitalisation of $1 trillion in June 2023, tripling its value within a year. This performance surpasses that of Apple and Microsoft. Currently, Microsoft is ranked second, with a market capitalisation of $3.75 trillion. Its shares increased by 1.3% to $503, and since the lows in April, the stock has rebounded by 74%. The initial drop was due to tariffs imposed during the Trump administration, but recent trade deals have boosted optimism in the market. As a result, the S&P 500 has reached new highs.
