Nvidia has become the first company to surpass a $5 trillion market value on Wednesday after shares rose more than 4%. This follows the large AI boom that has been only growing over the last few years, and has happened only three months after the company was valued at $4 trillion. This growth in value builds on a 5% increase on Tuesday, and resulted in a 50% increase so far this year. The reason for the sudden growth came from comments from CEO Jensen Huang revealing that he expects $500 billion in AI-chip orders and plans to build seven new supercomputers for the United States government. The organisation also confirmed a $1 billion stake in Nokia – a partnership that should result in the development of 6G technology, something that would be new for the company that focusses on data and computer hardware. On top of this, Nvidia intends to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, supplying it with data-centre chips ti build at least 10 gigawatts of AI infrastructure. This increase in value also aligned with record highs in the market on Tuesday. Both Apple and Microsoft topped $4 trillion in market value.

SK Hynix, a large supplier to Nvidia, has sold out of several important chips until 2026, and Amazon is building an $11 billion data centre in Indiana. Of course, this begs the question as to whether the value of AI-based companies is inflated, especially with many pushing back against the rise of this technology. In fact, the Bank of England and International Monetary Fund has cautioned that if this reversal is to come to fruition, it could put massive pressure on the global market. In the last quarter, Nvidia has created $26 billion in net income.
