NVIDIA has become the world's most valuable company on the back of the boom in artificial intelligence. American chipmaker Nvidia has surpassed technology giants Apple and Microsoft to reach a market value of $4 trillion. If it rises another 5%, its market value will surpass India's GDP. A world record was set on Wall Street on Wednesday as Nvidia shares hit a new all-time high.

The Indian economy is currently worth $4.2 trillion. It is estimated that India's GDP will reach $4.27 trillion by the end of 2025. Developments and expectations regarding artificial intelligence have created an AI boom on Wall Street. Nvidia shares rose 2.76% on Wednesday to a 52-week high of $164.42. As of July 9, 2025, Nvidia is trailed by Microsoft ($3.751 trillion) and Apple ($3.135 trillion) in market value.

Nvidia shares have been a big hit for U.S. stock market investors this year. Year-to-date, they have gained 17% in 2025. They have returned 14.28% in the past month. They have also given good returns in the past 5 years. The stock, which has gained 1,455% during this period, has gained 24% in the past year.
