Summary
- Nvidia becomes the first company to be worth $5 trillion after shares rise more than 4%.
- The company announced AI chip orders totaling $500 billion and investment of $1 billion in Nokia.
- Analysts in the US discuss the possibility of an “AI bubble”.
Nvidia is not only the most valuable company in the world, but the first to surpass the $5 trillion mark. The chip company makes history this Wednesday, after shares rose more than 4%. This year alone, NVDA shares on Nasdaq have already appreciated by 50%.
Why is Nvidia worth so much?
Nvidia’s good moment is related, as you already know, to the expansion of artificial intelligence. The company led by Jensen Huang is well positioned to supply GPUs, the graphics processing cards that are also used for AI tasks.
At this moment, the shares are rising even more: they reached 8% and are now at 7.93%.
Projects worth billions
Nvidia recently announced that orders for AI chips total US$500 billion (around R$2.68 trillion in direct conversion). By way of comparison, Apple plans to invest US$500 billion in the United States over the next five years.
In addition, Nvidia also announced an investment of US$1 billion in Nokia (R$5.3 billion). The resources will be allocated to artificial intelligence and connectivity projects, with special interest in the development of 6G.
At the same time that technology giants are seeing their share prices soar, it is worth remembering that the expression “AI bubble” has been seen more frequently among analysts based in the United States. Some of them already understand that it is no longer a question of withbut rather when.
