Nvidia is ready to release its first fiscal quarterly report for 2025.

Quick overview

Analysts predict Nvidia may exceed a $4 trillion market cap soon, fueled by the AI boom.
Nvidia regained its title as the world's most valuable company, surpassing Microsoft with a market cap of $3.86 trillion.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, has become the ninth richest person globally, with a net worth of $137.4 billion due to the company's stock performance.
Both Nvidia and Microsoft are anticipated to join the $4 trillion club this summer, with a focus on reaching $5 trillion in the next 18 months.

Analysts expect Nvidia could break the $4 trillion mark in the coming months, driven by the ongoing boom in artificial intelligence (AI).

The semiconductor giant regained its position as the world’s most valuable company in late June, overtaking Microsoft amid renewed investor confidence in its dominance of the AI sector and rising demand for its specialized chips.

As of Wednesday, shares of the company founded by Jensen Huang were trading around $157.42—up 2.62% from Tuesday’s close.

At the end of June, Nvidia’s market capitalization hit $3.86 trillion, surpassing Microsoft by 4.3%, whose valuation stood at $3.69 trillion. This milestone further cements Nvidia’s leadership in a rapidly evolving market.

Apple’s Record and the Road Ahead

However, Nvidia has yet to surpass the all-time record set by Apple in December 2024, when the tech giant reached a peak valuation of approximately $3.92 trillion. Apple currently ranks third, with a market cap of $3.1 trillion.

Both Nvidia and Microsoft are expected to enter the $4 trillion club this summer, and over the next 18 months, attention is shifting toward the $5 trillion milestone—as the ongoing tech bull market, led by the AI revolution, is still considered to be in its early stages.

Nvidia’s CEO Climbs Billionaire Rankings

Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s co-founder and CEO, recently climbed to the ninth spot on the list of the world’s richest individuals. With an estimated net worth of $137.4 billion, Huang has overtaken Sergey Brin, co-founder of Alphabet, according to the latest Forbes rankings.

The leap in wealth is largely attributed to Nvidia’s exceptional stock performance. Holding roughly 3% of the company, Huang saw his fortune surge—gaining about $3 billion last Friday alone.
