NVIDIA Becomes the First Company Ever to Hit $5T Market Cap

NVIDIA has now secured the title of the most valuable company, hitting a $5 trillion market capitalisation. This makes it the only company in the world to hit this mark. The giant’s market cap began approaching $5 trillion in mid-October, with the company’s stock reaching an all-time high that month. 

Specifically, as of the most recent trading data, NVIDIA’s market cap was approximately $4.89 trillion on October 29, and on October 30, it stands at $5.03 trillion. 

At the company’s recent GTC event in DC, Huang said that the world is moving from using general-purpose CPUs to faster GPU-based computing. He explained that computing is now built around AI factories, which are large data centres that train, run, and manage intelligent systems. 

Huang said AI is no longer limited to research or model training but is now being used in industries and government projects. Additionally, he announced a hybrid GPU-quantum architecture called NVQLink. This drives efforts to achieve quantum advantage in the near future. 

Huang said the company expects to surpass $500 billion in Blackwell GPU sales by the end of 2026, following revenue of over $100 billion recorded in the first half of 2025.

NVIDIA’s success stems from its applications across a variety of verticals, including AI hardware, telecommunications, quantum, robotics, autonomous mobility, AI factories and AI models. 

This is not all.

NVIDIA is not the only company which has achieved new heights in the tech ecosystem. Even Microsoft and Apple have followed suit, reaching a $4 trillion market cap, a feat NVIDIA achieved earlier this July. 

Microsoft now stands at $4.03 trillion market cap and Apple at $4 trillion.

Meanwhile, other giants like Google, Meta and Amazon stand at $3.33 trillion, $1.89 trillion and $2.46 trillion, respectively.

NVIDIA’s market cap comes just after it announced that its Blackwell chips have commenced production at TSMC’s Fab 21 in Phoenix, Arizona, marking a significant step in US semiconductor manufacturing. 

The Blackwell wafer is the base material for semiconductors and will undergo layering, patterning, etching, and dicing before becoming NVIDIA’s AI chip. TSMC Arizona will produce 2, 3, and 4-nanometer chips, as well as A16 chips, for AI, telecommunications, and high-performance computing applications.
