Nvidia has once again claimed the title of the world’s most valuable publicly traded company, surpassing Microsoft due to a sustained increase in demand for artificial intelligence technologies. This significant achievement highlights Nvidia’s essential role in driving next-generation AI infrastructure across various sectors.
On Tuesday, Nvidia’s stock price increased by nearly 3% to $141.40, elevating its market capitalization to an impressive $3.45 trillion. This advancement placed it slightly ahead of Microsoft’s $3.44 trillion valuation. Earlier in January, Nvidia had briefly taken the lead, maintaining a close competition with Microsoft and Apple for dominance in the tech industry.
The company’s rapid ascent is primarily due to its leadership in AI-centric semiconductors. Nvidia’s GPU-based AI accelerators have become the foundation of large-scale AI systems utilized by major companies such as OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon, Oracle, and xAI. These systems depend on Nvidia’s hardware for sophisticated machine learning and generative AI applications.
The wider semiconductor industry also reaped the benefits of this surge, with Broadcom rising by 3%, Micron increasing by 4%, and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF growing by 2%, indicating strong investor confidence in chipmakers driving the AI revolution.
Nvidia recently announced a record-setting first quarter for 2025, with revenue reaching $44.1 billion—a 69% increase compared to the previous year. Its data center segment alone accounted for $39.1 billion, a 73% rise, further solidifying its leadership in AI computing.
