Nvidia has officially become the first company in history to surpass a $5 trillion market valuation, driven by the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) boom and surging investor demand for high-performance computing hardware. As reported by CNBC , shares of Nvidia rose more than 4% on Wednesday, pushing the company’s market capitalization past the $5 trillion threshold.

The milestone underscores the company’s extraordinary transformation from a niche developer of gaming GPUs into a cornerstone of the global AI revolution. Nvidia’s stock, which closed up 5% on Tuesday, has now climbed more than 50% so far this year. For comparison, the company crossed the $3 trillion mark in June 2024 — meaning its market value has grown an incredible 66% in under 18 months.
