Nvidia has reclaimed its position as the world's most valuable company, with its market capitalization reaching $3.77 trillion after its shares rose more than 4% on Wednesday to close at a record $154.31. This milestone marks the first time Nvidia's stock has reached a new high since January, when it previously peaked at $149.43.
The company's remarkable growth has been fueled by its dominance in the AI chip market, particularly through its data center business, which saw a 73% year-over-year surge in revenue. For fiscal year 2025, Nvidia reported total revenue of $130.5 billion, representing a 114% increase from the previous year, with earnings per share rising 147% to $2.94.
Nvidia's success comes despite significant challenges in the Chinese market. In April, the U.S. government imposed new export controls that effectively blocked sales of Nvidia's H20 AI processors to China, resulting in an $8 billion revenue loss and a $4.5 billion inventory write-off. CEO Jensen Huang noted that "the $50 billion China market is effectively closed to U.S. industry," yet the company has managed to maintain strong growth through demand in other regions.
At Wednesday's annual shareholder meeting, Huang identified robotics as the company's biggest growth opportunity beyond AI. The company is also making significant strides with its next-generation Blackwell platform, which is designed to power real-time generative AI on trillion-parameter large language models at up to 25x less cost and energy consumption than its predecessor.
Analysts remain bullish on Nvidia's prospects, projecting 53% revenue growth for the current fiscal year to nearly $200 billion. The company's continued innovation in AI infrastructure, including the development of its Blackwell Ultra platform expected in the second half of 2025, positions it to capitalize on the growing demand for AI reasoning, agentic AI, and physical AI applications across industries.
