Nvidia Dazzles Again With Its Sheer Brilliance

This month Nvidia continued to write the greatest story in corporate history. It became the first company to be worth 4 trillion dollars. And it hit this mark and continued its climb.

On Wednesday 25th June 2025 the company closed at a record high of $154.31 exceeding its prior closing high of $149.43 hit on the 6th January 2025. It again overtook Microsoft to become the most valuable company in the world. At this level it was worth $3.77 trillion. Apple and Microsoft are the only other US firms with a market value of more than $3 trillion.

According to Al Jazeera, the company is worth more than the combined value of the Canadian and Mexican stock markets and its value exceeds the total value of all publicly listed companies in the U.K. Its stock trades at a 12 month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 32, below its three-year average of 37.

This is absolutely fantastic but it is by no means the end of the story. On 9 July 2025 Nvidia stock jumped again and this pushed the company past the $4 trillion market capitalisation milestone.

Nvidia Secures U.S. Approval to Sell AI Chips in China, Driving 69% Q1 Revenue Surge

The latest good news is that the company recently received approval from the U.S. government to sell some of its AI chips in China.

Prior to the AI boom, Nvidia was mostly known for creating premium graphic cards that were used by gamers in high-speed visuals. Now the company is famous for selling powerful chips that help chatbots such as Open AI’s ChatGPT and self-driving cars. Nvidia powers more than 75% of the 500 most powerful computer systems in the world.

Nvidia sales increased 69% to $44.1 billion in its fiscal first quarter compared to a year ago. Net income was nearly $18.8 billion, up 26% from a year ago. In its fiscal year 2025, the company’s revenue more than doubled to about $130.5 billion compared to a year earlier, and net income increased 145% to nearly $72.9 billion compared to fiscal year 2024.

Nvidia Adds $200 Billion in One Week – More Than the Entire Value of Shell Plc

Let’s look at what happened last week. On Monday the share price opened at $163.94. It closed at $164.28. At this level Nvidia was worth $4.006 trillion. It closed the week at $172.41 giving the company a value of $4.205 trillion.

So, last week alone Nvidia added over 200 billion in market value – that’s the same value as Shell Plc. But Shell was founded in 1833 near 200 years ago. These numbers are difficult to explain. One billion dollars is 1000 million dollars. So, 200 billion is two hundred thousand million dollars.

In language South African readers can understand and at an exchange rate of 17.71 Rands to a dollar that is three thousand five hundred and forty-two thousand million rand. I hope I have this right. I think it is. I am happy for readers to check the maths.

I suppose the point is, it’s a lot of money to create in one week!

And so, the incredible story of Nvidia continues to unfold.
