Nvidia hit a $4 trillion market valuation

Nvidia as poised to become the first $4 trillion company, driven by its AI dominance. As the AI chipmaker prepares to report fiscal Q3 earnings, expectations are high for another standout performance. Analysts anticipate a $2 billion revenue beat and robust forward guidance, which could further solidify investor confidence.

Wedbush highlights Nvidia’s leadership in AI capital expenditures, forecasting over $1 trillion in spending tied to its GPUs, which they describe as “the new oil and gold.” The company’s Blackwell chips are expected to play a pivotal role, with demand and production momentum signaling strong growth potential. CEO Jensen Huang’s commentary during the earnings call is likely to underscore this bullish outlook.

The broader market context also supports Nvidia’s trajectory. Recent AI-related results from Microsoft, Amazon, and Google demonstrate robust cloud demand, reinforcing the case for sustained AI investment. Analysts point to a favorable macroeconomic backdrop, including a potential Federal Reserve rate-cutting cycle and easing regulatory pressures, as factors that could further boost tech stocks.

Wedbush’s projection extends into 2025, with Nvidia positioned at the forefront of the AI revolution. They believe the market continues to underestimate the demand curve for AI-driven technologies, underscoring Nvidia’s path toward its unprecedented valuation goal.
