Nvidia Takes Top Place Despite Stagnation in Stock Markets
Today stock markets mostly stagnated, with the price in most major indexes trading in a tight range, but Nvidia stock kept surging to record highs. Nvidia’s rapid rise to become the world’s most valuable corporation is remarkable, especially considering its origins and market positioning in recent years.
Nvidia’s shares have surged by over 170% so far in the year. This includes significant gains following its first-quarter earnings report in May, which likely showcased robust financial performance and growth prospects. Nvidia’s dominance in the semiconductor and GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) sectors has been pivotal.

The company’s GPUs are crucial for AI applications, including generative AI, which has seen exponential growth and adoption in recent years. Despite not manufacturing its own chips, Nvidia’s strategic partnerships and technological advancements in AI and gaming have bolstered its market value. The company’s innovations in AI-driven technologies have attracted substantial investor interest and contributed to its meteoric rise in valuation.
Nvidia’s Market Capitalization Milestones:
- Current Market Cap: Nvidia’s market capitalization soared to $3.33 trillion during lunchtime trading on Tuesday, propelled by a 3.2% increase in its share price.
- Surpassing Microsoft and Apple: Nvidia first surpassed Apple’s market cap to reach $3 trillion and subsequently overtook Microsoft to become the world’s most valuable company.
Nvidia’s stock has surged significantly over the past two years, driven by its leadership in AI technologies. Wall Street’s recognition of Nvidia’s role in driving the AI boom has bolstered investor confidence and contributed to its soaring stock price. To make its shares more accessible and potentially enhance its inclusion in major indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), Nvidia executed a 10-for-1 stock split on June 7, 2024.
Stock splits reduce the nominal share price, making them more attractive for individual and institutional investors alike. Nvidia’s focus on AI, coupled with its ongoing innovations in GPU technology, positions it well for future growth. The company’s ability to continue driving advancements in AI, cloud computing, and gaming will likely determine its long-term success and investor sentiment.
Dow Inclusion Potential for Nvidia
The stock split increases Nvidia’s chances of being included in the DJIA, a price-weighted index where companies with higher stock prices exert a greater influence. Nvidia’s lower post-split price could potentially align better with the Dow’s index methodology, which could further elevate its market visibility and investor interest.
