Nvidia Surpasses $1T Market Cap
Nvidia, the leading chipmaker, has reached a significant milestone by attaining a market capitalization of $1 trillion. This places Nvidia among a select group of mainly technology companies. To maintain this distinction, Nvidia's shares must stay above $404.86 daily. The stock experienced a nearly 6% rise in morning trading. Last week, Nvidia's strong quarterly earnings, exceeding consensus estimates, contributed to a surge in its stock price. Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) are crucial for generative AI platforms like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard. While GPUs were traditionally associated with gaming, the rise of cryptocurrency mining and AI applications has expanded their perception, leading to significant stock price increases for GPU manufacturers and suppliers.
