From Gaming to Global Giant: Nvidia Hits $5T Market Cap

COLOMBO (News 1st); Nvidia has officially become the first company to cross the $5 trillion market value threshold, following a more than 3% rise in its stock on Wednesday.

This historic milestone underscores the company’s meteoric transformation from a niche graphics chip maker to a global powerhouse in artificial intelligence.

The latest momentum comes on the heels of bold announcements by CEO Jensen Huang, who revealed that Nvidia anticipates $500 billion in AI chip orders and will construct seven new supercomputers for the U.S. government.

These developments have further solidified Nvidia’s role at the heart of the AI revolution.

Nvidia’s rise is not just financial—it’s symbolic.

Once known primarily for powering video games, the company now fuels cutting-edge technologies from autonomous vehicles to generative AI. Its ascent to the $5 trillion mark signals a new era where AI infrastructure is as critical as oil pipelines once were.
