Nvidia's $5.41 Trillion Market Cap Exceeds Five S&P 500 Sectors Combined
Nvidia's market capitalization has reached $5.41 trillion, surpassing the combined value of five S&P 500 sectors—energy, utilities, real estate, consumer staples, and materials—and accounting for about 8% of the index. The valuation equals 16.3% of U. S. GDP, driven by the AI boom. Nvidia and Apple have traded the global top spot since 2024; Nvidia overtook Apple in June 2024, regained the crown from Microsoft in June 2025, and passed $5 trillion in October 2025. After Apple briefly reclaimed the lead in July 2026, Nvidia returned to No. 1 after its latest earnings. It guided third-quarter revenue to $108 billion, up about 1,730% over four years.
