Nvidia reaches record market capitalization
News | By Easton Martin | July 9, 2025
Nvidia has become the first publicly traded company to surpass a $4 trillion market capitalization today, as shares rose as high as $164.12 during the trading session, pushing the company past the threshold needed to hit the milestone.
The rally was fueled by strong investor confidence in Nvidia’s dominant position in the artificial intelligence chip market. Continued demand for its high-performance hardware, particularly the Blackwell architecture, has driven rapid growth across data centers and AI infrastructure projects.
Earlier in the day, Nvidia briefly surpassed the $4 trillion mark when its stock climbed above $163.93 per share, the level required based on its current share count.
Nvidia’s achievement surpasses Apple’s previous record of $3.915 trillion set in December 2024 and puts the company ahead of Microsoft, which currently stands near $3.75 trillion. Nvidia now represents more than seven percent of the total value of the S&P 500 index, a record share for any single company.
Despite concerns over U.S. export restrictions that could impact sales to China, Nvidia has continued to outperform expectations. Analysts remain bullish, with several raising their price targets above $170 and projecting continued strength in global demand for AI systems.
