NVIDIA (NVDA) Stock Surpasses $5 Trillion Market Cap With 4.3% Gain

Nvidia (NVDA) shares closed at $208.27, marking a 4.3% increase and pushing the company's market cap past $5 trillion. This increase follows a significant rise in demand for AI chips, with Nvidia's stock up more than 14-fold since the end of 2022. The rally was boosted by Intel's better-than-expected earnings, which caused its shares to spike 24%. While Nvidia faces increasing competition from companies like Alphabet, the technology sector, particularly AI infrastructure, continues to attract investor interest, as evidenced by a 15% rise in the Nasdaq for April.
