NVIDIA Hits $5 Trillion in MCap, Surpassing India’s GDP

NVIDIA Corporation has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first company to reach a $5 trillion market capitalization, surpassing India’s entire GDP of approximately $4.2 trillion. On October 29, as US markets opened, NVIDIA’s shares surged over 4%, pushing its market value to $5.05 trillion. This achievement cements NVIDIA’s status as the undisputed leader in the global AI revolution, outpacing even tech giants like Apple and Microsoft.
