NEW YORK: Nvidia’s rallied to record highs on Wednesday, with the artificial intelligence chipmaker’s valuation breaching the $3 trillion mark and overtaking Apple to become the world’s second most valuable company.
Nvidia is preparing to split its stock ten-for-one, effective on June 7, a move that could increase its appeal to individual investors.
The surge in Nvidia’s market value above Apple’s marks a shift in Silicon Valley, which the company co-founded by Steve Jobs has dominated since it launched the iPhone in 2007.
Nvidia’s stock rose 5.2% to end the day at $1,224.40, valuing the company at $3.012 trillion. Apple’s market capitalization was last at $3.003 trillion after its stock climbed 0.8%.
Microsoft, based in Redmond, Washington, remained the world’s most valuable company at $3.15 trillion after its shares climbed 1.9%.
“Nvidia is making money on AI right now, and companies like Apple and Meta are spending on AI,” said Jake Dollarhide, chief executive officer at Longbow Asset Management.
