Nvidia, which has been frequently mentioned in recent years with its pioneering work in the field of artificial intelligence chips, has reached the highest company value in history with a market value of $3.92 trillion. This value of the company surpassed the record of $3.915 trillion set by Apple on December 26, 2024. Its shares increased by 2.4 percent in the morning hours of the same day and were traded at $160.98.

Nvidia breaks a record with its market value

The basis of this increase in Nvidia’s value is the high performance provided by its latest generation artificial intelligence chips in large language models and other AI applications. The company’s hardware is used as a key component in the AI-focused data center investments of technology giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet and Tesla. The increasing demand was directly reflected in the company’s share value.

With this value, Nvidia exceeded the total value of the Canadian and Mexican stock exchanges, and also surpassed the total market value of all publicly traded companies in the United Kingdom. Its share value has increased eightfold in the last four years.

Nvidia, which had a market value of around $500 billion in 2021, is approaching the $4 trillion mark by 2025. Shares have risen 68 percent since the low close on April 4. The company currently accounts for 7 percent of the S&P 500 index. Along with Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Alphabet hold a combined 28 percent of the index.

This concentration causes the financial performance of pension funds and individual investors to depend heavily on the development of artificial intelligence technologies. Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Nvidia was known for its gaming hardware in its early years.

However, the company has gradually shifted from graphics processors to artificial intelligence chips, placing it at the center of the global technology industry. Nvidia, which was included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average in November 2024, replacing Intel, has become one of the most prominent symbols of the transformation in the semiconductor industry.
