Nvidia has surged to become the world’s most valuable company after its share price hit an all-time high on Tuesday. The stock closed at nearly $136, up 3.5%, surpassing Microsoft in market value and overtaking Apple earlier this month.
This remarkable rise is attributed to Nvidia’s pivotal role in the AI industry, manufacturing essential computer chips for AI software. The soaring demand for its products has significantly boosted its sales and profits over the past few years.
Nvidia’s market valuation now stands at a staggering $3.34 trillion (£2.63 trillion), nearly doubling since the beginning of the year. This is a colossal leap considering the stock was worth less than 1% of its current value just eight years ago.
The competitive landscape among AI developers, including giants like Microsoft, Alphabet (Google’s parent company), Meta, and Apple, has worked in Nvidia’s favor. The company dominates the AI chip market, and investors are confident that it will continue to grow in value.
Despite the bullish sentiment, some caution remains. Barclays credit analyst Sandeep Gupta raised concerns in February about Nvidia’s ability to maintain its large market share amidst rising competition and questioned the monetization strategies of Nvidia’s AI software customers.
Nvidia’s recent performance has exceeded many analyst expectations, with technology analyst Ben Barringer from Quilter Cheviot noting that the company “once again cleared a very high hurdle” in its latest financial results. The demand for Nvidia’s products shows no signs of waning, cementing its position as a market leader.
