Nvidia, the US-based semiconductor and AI computing company, has become the first organisation in history to reach a $5 trillion (€4.3 trillion) market valuation, surpassing the GDP of major economies such as Japan and the UK. The growth reflects how artificial intelligence continues to redefine digital transformation across industries worldwide.

The company’s stock closed at $207.04 (€178) with 24.3 billion shares outstanding, marking a rapid rise from the $4 trillion (€3.44 trillion) milestone reached just three months earlier. Nvidia’s chips, vital to AI data centres, cloud computing, and generative AI tools, remain central to the surge in global demand for computational power.

Nvidia announced a series of new partnerships and investments to expand its technological footprint. These include a $500 billion (€430 billion) chip order pipeline, a $1 billion (€860 million) investment in Nokia to advance 6G technology, and collaboration with Uber on robotaxi development. 

The firm is also partnering with the US Department of Energy to build seven AI-powered supercomputers and plans to invest $100 billion (€86 billion) in OpenAI to add at least 10 gigawatts of new AI data centres.

While Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang dismissed concerns of an AI-driven market bubble, regulatory and economic leaders, including the Bank of England and IMF, have expressed caution over inflated tech valuations linked to the AI surge.

Nvidia’s rapid expansion cements its influence at the core of global digital transformation, redefining how infrastructure, automation, and intelligence converge across sectors.
