Blue Whale News, June 19th (Reporter Lu Pengpeng) - At the close of the US stock market on Tuesday local time, American chip company Nvidia rose 3.51% to $135.58, hitting a new historical high with a total market value of $3.335 trillion, surpassing Microsoft and Apple to become the world's most valuable listed company.
As early as a year ago, Nvidia's market value had not yet reached the threshold of $1 trillion, ranking behind tech giants such as Google's parent company Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. But in the past year, Nvidia's stock price has soared by over 200%, and some analysts believe that the semiconductor giant's market has not yet reached its end. It is expected that its market value will climb to nearly $5 trillion next year.
It is worth noting that it took 96 days for Nvidia's market value to increase from $2 trillion to $3 trillion. By comparison, according to Bespoke Investment Group data, Microsoft took 945 days and Apple took 1044 days.
At present, three companies in the United States have exceeded the $3 trillion mark in market value, namely Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple. The total market value of the three companies mentioned above is nearly 10 trillion US dollars.
NVIDIA, founded in 1993 and headquartered in California, USA, is one of the world's largest GPU manufacturers. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, Nvidia's chips are widely used in autonomous vehicle, data centers, cloud computing, games and other fields. Especially in the data center GPU market, Nvidia's shipment volume achieved explosive growth in 2023, with a market share of up to 98%.
Last month, Nvidia released its first quarter report for the fiscal year 2025, with a revenue of $26 billion, a year-on-year increase of 262%, and a net profit of $14.81 billion, a year-on-year increase of 628%. The revenue of the data center was $22.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 427%.
From the financial report data, it can be seen that Nvidia's core growth is entirely driven by its data center business, with data centers accounting for $22.6 billion in revenue of $26 billion. In the future, this proportion will further expand.
