Nvidia Surpasses Apple and Microsoft to Become World’s Most Valuable Company

Nvidia has regained its position as the world's most valuable company after a nearly 3% surge in its stock price on October 5, overtaking Apple and Microsoft.

This boost lifted Nvidia’s market capitalization to $3.43 trillion, surpassing Apple’s $3.38 trillion and Microsoft’s $3.06 trillion.

While Apple’s stock remains sluggish due to a weak sales forecast and disappointing Q4 earnings, Microsoft continues to face a slump following a revision of its Q4 guidance.

In contrast, Nvidia’s stock has surged almost 190% this year, driven by strong sales and its focus on accelerated computing and generative AI. The company first surpassed Apple and Microsoft in June, but only briefly. Nvidia’s stock has gained 9.5% in the past month, trading at $139.91.

With AI continuing to drive growth in global tech stocks, Nvidia is poised to remain a key player for the foreseeable future.
