Nvidia Becomes First Public Company to Hit $4 Trillion Market Cap

Milestone Moment: What Just Happened

On July 9, 2025, Nvidia briefly became the world’s first $4 trillion publicly traded company during intraday trading, with shares touching $164 before settling around $163. This milestone highlights Nvidia’s remarkable rise: $1T in mid-2023, $2T- $3T in the year that followed, and now $4T all powered by booming AI demand.

Why It Matters

Nvidia’s GPUs are central to powering AI infrastructure from ChatGPT and Gemini to data centers and self-driving cars. That has sparked massive Wall Street confidence:

Shares up ~25% over the past 12 months, and a whopping 1,400% over five years.
Analysts maintain “buy” ratings, with a $174 average target some predicting $200+.

Market Impact & Competitors

Nvidia leads the surge, while Microsoft and Apple now trade above $3 trillion.
Analyst Dan Ives sees this as a sign of a new tech bull market, driven by AI.
