An impressive rise in Nvidia shares has propelled the chipmaker into a very exclusive club: American companies with a market value of $1,000 billion. The company's market capitalization did not remain at this level at the end of the session, but the symbol is there.
Seven American companies have surpassed this level in history. The pioneer, Apple, will celebrate its fifth anniversary at the club in August. The group is also the first to have touched the $3,000 billion mark. Meta Platforms (ex-Facebook) and Tesla are now well below the $1,000 bn mark, following marked corrections since 2021. Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabian Oil Company), listed in Saudi Arabia and with a very limited free float, currently weighs the equivalent of $2055 billion.
