Beating out Microsoft and Apple to reach $4 trillion first, Nvidia’s value was buoyed by stock gains of 2.76% throughout the day. The stock price fell slightly before trading closed off but not before history was made. It was Apple in the lead at the beginning of 2025 with around $3.9 trillion in market value, but that company was quickly surpassed by Nvidia, which has kept its lead in recent months.

Both Nvidia and Microsoft achieved all-time stock highs this year in a second quarter that has been extremely good for Big Tech stocks. Alphabet, Microsoft, and even Tesla have seen incredible gains in recent months as Donald Trump placed many tariffs on pause and the economy had a chance to strengthen.

Nvidia’s Stellar 2025 Performance

Nvidia has come down from its recent high with a dip of 0.06% today, but it could still climb later today and for the rest of the week. Its current stock price of $162.75 is 12.5% above its starting value for 2025.

By April, Nvidia had earned $44.1 billion in revenue, which was a marked increase from the previous year. With a gain of 65% over its 2024 performance, Nvidia is doing very well and riding the AI-tech high that is pushing technology stocks in a bullish trend right now.

Nvidia could benefit from relaxed restrictions on AI tech being shipped into Japan, opening up incredible business opportunities for the company that has been content to pay steep fines to sell its products in areas where U.S. tariffs make that prohibitively expensive. While there was concern early on in the year that Nvidia would be hurt by new competition out of China as well as Chinese government pressure to reduce monopolistic practices in the country, Nvidia has flourished.

Nvidia is the cornerstone of the AI tech market, driving the growth there by offering state of the art processing units and making its products widely available. They should continue to benefit from this rapidly expanding market and will likely impress their shareholders with increased gains throughout the rest of the year.
