Nvidia Surpasses Apple Now Second Most Valuable U.S. Company

Nvidia's surge in market cap on Wednesday, surpassing Apple, underscores investors' confidence in the chipmaker driving the AI revolution. Now ranked as the second-most valuable public company, trailing only Microsoft, Nvidia hit a significant milestone, reaching a $3 trillion market cap as its shares soared by over 5%.

This remarkable rise reflects Nvidia's dominance in AI chip technology, with an estimated 80% market share in data center chips, drawing substantial investments from major cloud providers. Bolstered by a staggering 427% year-on-year growth in its data center business, Nvidia's revenue soared to $22.6 billion in the most recent quarter, comprising 86% of its total sales.

In contrast, Apple, facing stagnating sales growth, experienced a modest 5% increase in share value this year. Its recent quarterly report revealed a 4% drop in overall sales and a 10% decline in iPhone sales, amid challenges in China, manufacturing, and mixed responses to its Vision Pro virtual reality headset.

Once the first trillion-dollar company, Apple's reign as the most valuable U.S. company ended earlier this year when Microsoft claimed the title. Microsoft's success, fueled by growing demand for AI infrastructure, mirrors Nvidia's ascent.

Founded in 1991 with a focus on gaming hardware, Nvidia's evolution into AI technology has propelled its stock to staggering heights, surging over 3,290% in the past five years. The company's announcement of a 10-for-1 stock split in May further fueled investor enthusiasm.
