Trendingger Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Nvidia, the renowned graphics card manufacturer, has ascended to the pinnacle of the global corporate ladder. The tech titan has dethroned Microsoft, seizing the title of the world’s most valuable company. The catalyst for this monumental shift was a strategic stock split, which propelled Nvidia’s value into the stratosphere. This move came merely 12 days after Nvidia had claimed the second spot from another tech giant, Apple. The stock split not only increased the number of shares but also made them more appealing to individual investors. Nvidia’s shares soared to an all-time high, ending the trading day at nearly $136 (it rose further after hours). This surge in share price resulted in a market value of a staggering $3.34 trillion. The demand for Nvidia’s processors has been skyrocketing, given their crucial role in AI software. This has led to a significant boost in the company’s sales and profits over the last few years. The market’s faith in Nvidia’s potential for further growth has fueled the company’s share price. However, Nvidia’s journey to the top hasn’t been without its challenges.
