Nvidia Becomes First $5 TRILLION Company In Human History
Nvidia (NVDA) just became the world’s first $5 trillion company, reaching the unprecedented milestone at the opening of the stock market today (Wednesday 29th October, 2025). This comes just three (3) months after the company crossed the $4 trillion mark, in July. Nvidia previously took about thirteen (13) months to move from $3 trillion to $4 trillion in valuation.
The company’s market valuation has propelled into the stratosphere due to skyrocketing demand for its AI chips, which are essential to powering the data centers that run the technology.
Nvidia’s shares rose 3% after the market opened today, on hopes that discussions between United States President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will open up China’s market to Nvidia’s high-end AI chips.
Nvidia stock has gained about 50% in 2025 and has been near or at the top of the S&P 500’s best-performing stocks for years as investment in artificial intelligence continues to fuel the chipmaker’s meteoric rise.
The company’s stock also rose on Tuesday (28th October, 2025) after CEO Jensen Huang presented a compelling vision of Nvidia’s future, in which its chips would be placed in everything from cellphone towers to robotic factories to self-driving cars. Huang, in his first-ever keynote address at the company’s GTC AI conference in Washington on Tuesday, was effusive in his praise for Trump.
Nvidia is pouring massive investments into other major players — recently announcing a new partnership with AI leader OpenAI, which will have the ChatGPT-maker purchase billions of dollars’ worth of chips in exchange for a $100 billion investment from Nvidia, made over time.
Nvidia also recently announced a $5 billion investment in beleaguered chipmaker Intel.
Meanwhile, another tech giant — Apple — breached the $4 trillion benchmark on Tuesday (28th October, 2025), in a sign that the iPhone is still enough to excite consumers and Wall Street, even as the company is seen to have fallen behind in the AI race.
More on this as it becomes available.
