Nvidia Hits $4 Trillion Market Cap, Just 5% Away from Surpassing India’s Entire GDP

Silicon Valley. Chipmaking giant Nvidia Corporation has achieved a staggering milestone by crossing the $4 trillion market capitalization mark, becoming the first semiconductor company to ever reach this level. What’s even more astounding is that Nvidia now stands so large that just a 5% increase in its share price would make it more valuable than the entire GDP of India, one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.

India’s nominal GDP currently hovers around $4.1 trillion. With Nvidia’s meteoric rise driven by the global AI boom and soaring demand for high-performance chips, it’s inching closer to surpassing the economic size of major nations.

Founded in 1993, Nvidia started as a graphics chipmaker and has now transformed into a cornerstone of the AI revolution, powering data centers, autonomous vehicles, and next-generation computing systems. Investors are betting heavily on its future, fueling a stock rally that has shattered one record after another on Wall Street.

As of the latest market close, Nvidia shares have surged over 200% in the past year, cementing its place as one of the most valuable publicly traded companies in the world, alongside Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet.
