NVIDIA Corporation
officially became the world’s first company to achieve a $5 trillion market capitalization on October 29, 2025, marking an unprecedented milestone in stock market history. The NVIDIA stock price surged over 3% in early trading Wednesday, pushing the chipmaker’s market value past this historic threshold. This remarkable achievement came just three months after NVIDIA crossed the $4 trillion mark in July 2025.
The surge followed CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote address at NVIDIA’s GTC conference in Washington D.C., where he revealed that the company has secured over $500 billion in orders for its AI chips through 2026. This includes demand for the current Blackwell generation and upcoming Rubin chips scheduled for 2026 launch. Huang described this as unprecedented visibility into future revenue for any technology company.
NVIDIA’s market value
now exceeds the total market capitalization of entire stock markets in the UK, France, and Germany combined. The company controls an estimated 90% market share of AI chips essential for training large language models used by Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and OpenAI. Since the ChatGPT launch in 2022, NVIDIA shares have surged twelvefold, with the stock rising over 50% in 2025 alone.
The chipmaker’s dominance
stems from its graphics processing units that power AI infrastructure globally. NVIDIA announced partnerships with Nokia for 6G technology development and plans to build seven AI supercomputers for the US Department of Energy. The company also confirmed its Blackwell chips are now in full production in Arizona.
