Among the world’s largest technology giants, several companies predominantly based in the United States stand out. Nvidia, a leading manufacturer of computer chips, is undoubtedly among this elite group.
As reported by The Guardian, the company, founded in 1993, has now achieved a significant milestone. Artificial intelligence (AI) is influencing almost every aspect of our lives, and this is particularly true for the market and manufacturers involved in the AI sector. On Tuesday, a pivotal event occurred. Nvidia’s stock rose by 3.2% to a new high of $135.21, surpassing Microsoft in the process. This made Nvidia the most valuable company in the world.
A giant in the production of computer chips, Nvidia is at the forefront of the AI revolution, a fact now fully reflected in its market position and performance. The significant rise in its stock price pushed Nvidia’s market capitalization to an astounding $3.326 trillion. After surpassing Apple’s stock value just a few days ago, Nvidia has now dethroned Bill Gates’ company from the top spot.
A key factor in Nvidia’s immense success is its dominant position in the AI chip market, where the American company holds an unshakable lead. Its chips significantly contribute to the rapid advancement of AI in both scientific and commercial sectors.

The numbers speak for themselves regarding Nvidia’s bet on a winning horse. The push for AI innovation across technological and commercial sectors has generated unprecedented demand for these chips, reflecting the insatiable market need.
This surge is clearly mirrored in Nvidia’s financial performance. During the first quarter of this year, Nvidia reported a staggering revenue of $26 billion. For comparison, in the same period last year, the company recorded revenues of $7.2 billion. These figures alone highlight the fierce competition in the AI arena.
Nvidia’s chips power many tools in the AI industry, including OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT. The rising stock price and the company’s progressive nature in this field have made its earnings reports major events for investors in Silicon Valley.
