Nvidia, a leading chip manufacturer based in Santa Clara, California, has surpassed Microsoft to become the world’s most valuable company. On Tuesday, Nvidia’s shares rose by 3.5 percent to $135.58, reaching a market capitalization of $3.335 trillion.
Recently, Nvidia overtook Apple to secure the position of the second most valuable company in the world.

Nvidia’s success has also contributed to the record highs achieved by the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes.
Nvidia’s significant rally can be attributed to its integral role in the artificial intelligence sector. Its graphics processing units (GPUs) are essential for AI development and have attracted strong demand from tech giants like Microsoft, Meta, and Google.

Since its initial public offering in 1999, Nvidia’s shares have skyrocketed by 591,078 percent.
