Nvidia Sets Record with $5 Trillion Market Cap Milestone
Nvidia Corporation made history on October 29, 2025, as the first publicly traded company to exceed a $5 trillion market capitalization. The unprecedented surge in the chipmaker’s shares, which rose over 3% during Wednesday trading, was fueled by the sustained demand for artificial intelligence technologies and strategic AI partnerships.
This monumental achievement signifies a rapid ascent for the company. Nvidia had only reached a $1 trillion market cap in May 2023. The recent announcement by CEO Jensen Huang, in which he revealed expectations of $500 billion in AI chip orders and plans to construct seven new supercomputers for the U.S. government, further bolstered investor confidence.
Adding to the company’s momentum, Nvidia disclosed a $1 billion strategic investment in Nokia to develop next-generation 6G cellular technology. Comments from President Trump about a potential meeting with Huang to discuss approval for Nvidia’s Blackwell AI chips for export to China also contributed to the company’s rising valuation.
Today, Nvidia’s valuation surpasses the combined market cap of Apple ($4.011 trillion) and Microsoft ($3.995 trillion). This makes it worth more than double the entire market indexes of France and Germany combined.
