In a landmark moment for global markets, Nvidia Corporation achieved a market valuation of USD 5 trillion, marking the first time any company has reached this threshold. The achievement comes barely three months after the company crossed the $4 trillion mark, underscoring the intensity of the artificial-intelligence boom.

Much of this surge is linked to Nvidia’s pivotal role in supplying the processors that power large language models and AI-infrastructure globally. The company has announced approximately USD 500 billion in chip orders and plans to build seven supercomputers for the U.S. government. CEO Jensen Huang has steered the organisation from a graphics-chip maker to a leader in AI infrastructure—its stock having climbed more than twelve-fold since the 2022 launch of major AI platforms.

While the milestone signals investor confidence in AI’s expansion, it also raises caution among analysts: some warn of frothy valuations and potential concentration risks should AI spending slow or competition intensify.
