Nvidia Breakout Puts $4-trn Market Value Within Reach

TWO YEARS AFTER Nvidia Corporation made history by becoming the first chipmaker to achieve a $1 trillion market capitalization, an even more remarkable milestone is within its grasp: becoming the first company to reach $4 trillion.

After the emergence of China's DeepSeek sent the stock plunging earlier this year and stoked concerns that outlays on artificial intelligence infrastructure were set to slow, Nvidia shares have rallied back to a record. Its biggest customers remain full steam ahead on spending, much of which is flowing to its computing systems. A 66% gain from an April low has pushed its market capitalization to $3.8 trillion, overtaking Microsoft Corp. at $3.70 trillion to again become the world's most valuable company.

Nvidia shares rose as much as 1.3% in early trading Friday.

With a broadening customer base clamoring for Nvidia's latest AI accelerators and competitors still distant, bulls are betting the chipmaker's shares have plenty of room to run.
