Nvidia Dethrones Apple as Most Valuable Company in World

The Epoch Times Header

The corporationโ€™s stock has grown by more than 2,500 percent in the past five years.

Nvidia surpassed Apple to become the most valuable company, with demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) chips fuelling the surge in its stock price.

Nvidia shares rose by 2.84 percent on Tuesday, to close at $139.91, taking the companyโ€™s market capitalization to $3.43 trillionโ€”higher than Appleโ€™s market cap, which by the end of Nov. 5, was at $3.38 trillion.

Nvidia had earlier briefly dethroned Apple on Oct. 25. The graphics chip manufacturer also has higher trading volumes. On Tuesday, the corporationโ€™s average trading volume was 248 million, around six times more than Appleโ€™s 41 million, signifying high investor interest.

On a year-to-date basis, Nvidia is up by more than 190 percent, a far bigger rate of return compared to Appleโ€™s 20 percent gain. Nvidia came into significant prominence following the demand for its AI chips. The companyโ€™s shares have risen by more than 900 percent in the past two years and more than 2,500 percent since 2019.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the corporation reported a revenue of more than $30 billion, up 122 percent from 2024. Net income was up 168 percent during this period.

โ€œNvidia achieved record revenues as global data centers are in full throttle to modernize the entire computing stack with accelerated computing and generative AI,โ€ said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of the company.

For the third quarter, the company is expecting revenues to grow to $32.5 billion. Third quarter results are scheduled to be released on Nov. 20.

Nvidia will also be listed in the Dow Jones index beginning Nov. 8, following the companyโ€™s stellar performance and growing stature. S&P said in a statement that the decision was taken to โ€œensure a more representative exposure to the semiconductors.โ€

A Sept. 7 report by Morgan Stanley predicts Nvidia to expand even more. The investment bank has set a base target of $630 for Nvidiaโ€™s shares, over four times the current price level. The bull-case scenario predicts prices to hit $800.

Morgan Stanley pointed out downside risks in the report, such as the company making significant investments in new but unproven opportunities, the PC market remaining sluggish, competition from AMD in the graphics processing unit (GPU) space, and cloud computers shifting to competitive custom hardware.
