NVIDIA Becomes First $5 Trillion Company as AI Boom Peaks

Nvidia has made history, becoming the first company ever to surpass a $5 trillion market valuation. 

The rise is powered by surging demand for its AI-chips, especially the H100 and Blackwell models. These processors now underpin major generative-AI models and data-centres globally. 

In just three months, Nvidia jumped from a $4 trillion valuation to $5 trillion—an unprecedented leap in corporate value. 

CEO Jensen Huang has guided the company from a niche graphics-chip maker to the backbone of the AI industry. His stake in the company now makes him one of the richest people on earth. 

Still, the valuation has raised concerns among analysts about a potential tech bubble. They warn that Nvidia now carries massive expectations and little margin for error. 

Meanwhile, geopolitics play a role: U.S. export curbs on advanced chips and discussions around trade with China add complexity to Nvidia’s mission and growth path.
