Nvidia Shares Hit Record High at $154.31, Market Cap Tops $3.8 Trillion on AI 'Golden Wave' Optimism

Nvidia shares surged to new all-time highs in late June 2025, reaching a market capitalization exceeding $3.8 trillion and reclaiming its position as the world's most valuable publicly traded company, surpassing Microsoft and Apple. The stock closed at a record $154.31 per share, marking a gain of over 4% on June 25. This remarkable turnaround in 2025 is driven by renewed optimism around artificial intelligence (AI) and Nvidia's leadership in AI chip manufacturing. Analysts predict a 'Golden Wave' of AI adoption, fueling strong investor appetite.

CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the company's expanding role in AI infrastructure and identified robotics as the next trillion-dollar frontier. Major technology firms such as Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon continue to invest heavily in AI, supporting Nvidia's growth. The company's valuation has approached $4 trillion amid a decade-long AI infrastructure build-out and increasing global demand for sovereign AI solutions.
