Nvidia has become the first company to hit a $4tn market capitalisation, on the back of a rapid rebound for Wall Street technology stocks in recent months.
Shares in the Silicon Valley-based maker of artificial intelligence chips rose as much as 2.8 per cent on Wednesday to a peak of $164.42 to surpass the milestone, but ultimately closed 1.8 per cent higher at a valuation of $3.97tn. The group had already surpassed Apple’s $3.92tn record from last December.
Nvidia stock has risen by more than 40 per cent since early May, when US President Donald Trump first signalled a thaw in his trade war with China and Nvidia struck a series of multibillion-dollar chip deals in the Middle East.
