Nvidia Overtakes Apple to Become Second Most Valuable Company
Nvidia has officially surpassed Apple to become the second most valuable company in the world. The chipmaker’s stock was up 5.16% at USD 1,224.40, which gave Nvidia a market value of USD 3.01 trillion at market close.
Now just below Microsoft’s USD 3.151 trillion market cap, at USD 3.011 trillion, Nvidia edged past Apple’s USD 3.003 trillion market cap after reporting USD 14 billion in profit.
With a share price of USD 1,205.50, the NVDA stock has been on a consistent rise with the proliferation of artificial intelligence and the demand for its artificial intelligence-specific chips. Adding to this market cap increase is the increase in demand spurred on by Nvidia’s choice to now split the stock.
This decision will give investors a more approachable share price, after all the stock was trading at roughly USD 455 just six months ago. This split will take place on June 7 and will increase the quantity of shares by 10 thus reducing the price by the same factor. Nvidia has also hit numerous strides first with the iNFLux in gaming during the global pandemic and then with the surge in demand for its GPUs thanks to crypto mining.
As AI tech continues to develop and be used for wider applications, we may see Nvidia‘s market cap surpass Microsoft in the near future to claim the title of most valuable company in the world.
