Nvidia, a leading provider of computer chips for artificial intelligence, has become the first public company to reach a market value of $4 trillion. The company’s stock ended trading at just above $164 per share on Thursday, surpassing Apple and Microsoft in terms of valuation. Nvidia’s rise is attributed to its pioneering role in developing AI technology, with its CEO Jensen Huang betting on chips for artificial intelligence systems over a decade ago. The company controls more than 80% of the market for A.I.-based chips, making it a crucial player in the growth of AI systems and products. Despite concerns about competition and potential regulatory scrutiny, Nvidia’s investors have seen significant gains, with profits multiplying tenfold in just two years.
