Nvidia was worth more than four trillion US dollars for the first time on July 9, 2025. The share price rose to an all-time high of 164.42 dollars, resulting in a market capitalization of 4.019 billion dollars with 24.44 billion shares in circulation. This equates to 140.08 euros per share, or 3.424 billion euros in total. Due to the usual stock market fluctuations, Nvidia is currently sometimes below the four trillion dollar mark and sometimes above it.

Nvidia's record makes it the second and third most valuable company in the world, ahead of Microsoft and Apple. Just seven years ago, Apple was the first company to reach a market capitalization of one trillion dollars.

There is no obvious event for a new Nvidia rally on the stock market. Instead, investors continue to be impressed by the AI hype, from which Nvidia earns tens of billions of dollars every quarter and continues to grow steadily.

Nvidia was already on its way to a 4 trillion dollar valuation in the spring. However, due to US customs policy and trade restrictions with China, Nvidia's share price fell by more than a third meanwhile.

The situation seems to have calmed down meanwhile. Trade agreements have also been reached with China. Although Nvidia is no longer allowed to sell previous AI accelerators to China, the company is currently said to be working on new models for the country.

Nvidia is expected to publish its next business figures at the end of August 2025. The company expects sales of 45 billion dollars, considering the slump in the Chinese market due to the trade restrictions.
