On July 9, Nvidia became the first business to reach $4 trillion in market value, marking a significant milestone in Wall Street’s wager that AI will revolutionise the economy. Nvidia surged to $164.42 just after the stock market opened, valuing the company at more than $4 trillion.
After then, the stock gradually declined and finished slightly below the record barrier. Investor optimism that artificial intelligence (AI) will usher in a new era of robots and automation is demonstrated by the fact that Nvidia, which was founded by electrical engineer Jensen Huang, currently has a market value larger than the GDP of France, Britain, or India.
With Nvidia outperforming major indices, the California semiconductor company’s recent gain is contributing to a comeback in the overall stock market. The fact that U.S. President Donald Trump has retracted his most severe tariffs, which rocked world markets in early April, is partly to blame for this.
Rising US Stocks Despite Hurdles Created by Trump’s New Tariff Strategy
US stocks have remained high despite Trump’s recent announcements of new trade steps; on July 9, the tech-focused Nasdaq set a new record.
Nvidia’s agreement to construct AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia during a Trump state visit in May demonstrated a possible positive in the US president’s trade policies, even though the company still has to contend with US export restrictions to China and more general tariff concerns.
As interest in artificial intelligence has grown over the past two years, Nvidia’s ascent to $4 trillion sets a new record. The company’s stock has increased by almost 21% so far in 2025, while the Nasdaq has increased by 6.7%.
Nvidia’s Future Plan
Huang, who was born in Taiwan, has dazzled investors with a number of innovations, such as its major offering, graphics processing units (GPUs), which are essential to many generative AI projects in fields like robotics, autonomous driving, and other cutting-edge fields. Additionally, the business presented its next-generation Blackwell technology, which increases processing power.
Among its innovations are “real-time digital twins,” which greatly reduce the time needed for production development in a variety of industries, including manufacturing and aerospace. However, early in 2025, China-based DeepSeek upended the generative AI market with a low-cost, high-performance model that challenged the dominance of OpenAI and other high-spending giants, halting Nvidia’s winning streak.
During this time, Nvidia’s market value dropped by about $600 billion in a single session. Huang has defended against U.S. export restrictions while applauding DeepSeek’s arrival. In spite of a $4.5 billion hit from US export restrictions that restricted sales of advanced technology to China, Nvidia posted earnings of about $19 billion in the most recent quarter.
AI momentum remained high, according to the first-quarter earnings period. Several of the largest tech firms, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, are vying for supremacy in the multibillion-dollar AI race.
