Nvidia and Jensen Huang: How One Man Became the King of AI Chips and a Trillion-Dollar Market
Imagine this: a company that makes chips for artificial intelligence is now worth more than most countries in the world! Nvidia, led by founder and CEO Jensen Huang, is not just breaking records but rewriting the rules of the stock market.
Who is Jensen Huang and why is he on top?
Jensen Huang, who owns about 3% of Nvidia’s shares, is now the ninth richest person in the world with a fortune of around $40 billion. In just the last five days, the value of his stake rose by an astonishing $11.6 billion, with $3 billion coming just on Friday! Yes, you read that right — billions of dollars in just a few days.
Nvidia on the path to $4 trillion
Nvidia is currently the most valuable tech company in the world with a market capitalization of $3.83 trillion, surpassing even Microsoft at $3.7 trillion. Analysts at Wedbush Securities predict Nvidia and Microsoft will hit a $4 trillion market cap this summer, and $5 trillion within 18 months! Other experts, like Ananda Barua from Loop Capital, go even further, claiming Nvidia could reach $6 trillion thanks to the AI revolution.
Stock surge and challenges
Nvidia’s shares jumped 1.6% just on Friday, and 10% since the start of the week. Since the beginning of the year, the stock has grown about 14%, with a spectacular 81.7% rise since April. But it’s not all sunshine — the Trump administration imposed export bans on AI chips to China, which could cost Nvidia about $5.5 billion in revenue this fiscal year. Huang warned these measures could lock out the $50 billion Chinese market.
Nvidia as a symbol of the AI revolution
Despite geopolitical hurdles, Nvidia is not only leading the AI revolution but has become its symbol. The company reported revenues and profits above expectations, with global demand for their AI infrastructure described by Huang as “incredibly strong.”
What’s next?
As analysts raise price targets far above Wall Street consensus, the question remains: how far will Nvidia go? Is this just the start of a new era or a bubble about to burst? One thing is clear — the tech and finance world is watching this company as a future trillion-dollar giant.
Conclusion
Nvidia and Jensen Huang prove that a true revolution can happen in tech and finance. With breathtaking growth and looming challenges, this story is far from over. What about you?
