(Reuters) - Nvidia Corp on Tuesday became the first chipmaker to join Wall Street's trillion-dollar club dominated by technology heavyweights such as Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT).
The boom in artificial intelligence (AI) technology has driven a threefold surge in Nvidia's stock valuation in less then eight months, helping the chipmaker hit the trillion-dollar mark about 24 years after going public. iPhone maker Apple took 38 years to cross the lofty milestone.
Meta Platforms Inc and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc, now valued at more than $600 billion, had briefly hit a trillion in valuation in 2021, before falling back into the billions.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has gained about 25% so far this year, after falling 33% in 2022.
Here is a list of companies with trillion-dollar market capitalizations, and those nearing the milestone:
