Thursday, October 30, 2025 - AI chipmaker Nvidia became the world’s first $5 trillion company on Wednesday, October 29, marking a historic milestone as investors continue to bet on artificial intelligence as the driving force behind the next era of global innovation and economic growth.
The California-based tech giant’s share price surged by 4.91
percent to $210.90 at the opening of trading on Wall Street, pushing its market
capitalization beyond the unprecedented $5 trillion mark.
The rally follows Nvidia’s sustained strong sales
performance, a wave of new strategic partnerships, including a recently
announced deal with Europe’s Nokia, and renewed optimism that the company
may soon regain access to the Chinese market.
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang is expected to attend meetings on
the sidelines of the APEC summit in South Korea this week, where US President
Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will discuss issues related to AI
development and global trade.
Currently, Nvidia’s chips are not sold in China, largely due
to export restrictions tied to national security concerns and the ongoing
US-China trade tensions. The Trump administration has hinted at adopting a more
flexible approach to AI chip exports, though it continues to face resistance
from China hawks in Washington who advocate stricter controls.
In recent weeks, Nvidia has unveiled a series of major
investments and collaborations, including a plan to invest up to $100 billion
in OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, over the coming years. The company also
announced a $5 billion investment in Intel, aligning with the US government’s
initiative to revive domestic semiconductor manufacturing.
Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) power most of the
world’s generative AI systems, including ChatGPT and other large language
models, making the company a central force in the AI revolution reshaping
global technology, business, and innovation.
