NVIDIA Crosses $4 Trillion Milestone, Leads Global Tech Race by $700B

NVIDIA Corporation  has cemented its dominance on Wall Street, becoming the world’s most valuable publicly traded company with a market capitalization of about $4.43 trillion. The chipmaker’s meteoric rise underscores the global surge in demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing.

According to data from CompaniesMarketCap, NVIDIA now sits comfortably ahead of other tech titans. Microsoft trails with roughly $3.77 trillion, while Apple holds about $3.42 trillion in value. The gap between NVIDIA and its nearest competitor is estimated at nearly $700 billion, highlighting the scale of its lead in the global market.

The company’s valuation has more than quadrupled in just two years. In 2023, NVIDIA was worth about $1.23 trillion. By mid-2024, it had surpassed the $3 trillion mark, and in July 2025, it became the first U.S. company ever to cross the $4 trillion threshold.

NVIDIA’s explosive growth has been fueled by unprecedented demand for its graphics processing units (GPUs), which power generative AI platforms, cloud computing, autonomous systems, and data centers worldwide. Analysts say the company has become the backbone of the AI economy, with its chips viewed as the gold standard for machine learning workloads.

Financially, NVIDIA continues to deliver strong results. Its trailing twelve-month earnings per share (EPS) stand at $3.14, up sharply from just $0.76 in 2023. The company also maintains a robust balance sheet, with about $52.7 billion in cash and equivalents as of April 2025, and roughly 24.44 billion shares outstanding.

Despite concerns about overvaluation, market observers note that NVIDIA’s position is underpinned by both technological leadership and global dependence on AI infrastructure. As demand for next-generation computing grows, the company is expected to play an even bigger role in shaping the digital economy.
