Will Nvidia Soar After Reaching $4 Trillion? History Offers a Strikingly Clear Answer.
Key Points Nvidia reached a major market cap milestone -- ahead of other tech giants such as Microsoft and Apple. Investors have flocked to Nvidia to gain exposure to the high-growth artificial intelligence market. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) just achieved something no other company ever has: It reached a market value of $4 trillion last week, pushing ahead of Microsoft and Apple. Until recent times, those tech giants periodically held the position of world's most valuable company, though they remained under the $4 trillion level. It's not too surprising that Nvidia became the first to reach this milestone, considering the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and Nvidia's spot in the field. This tech company became a mover and shaker in the industry early on, developing graphics processing units (GPUs) specifically to handle AI workloads and launching a wide range of other related products and services too. The effort quickly bore fruit, helping Nvidia's annual revenue to surge to $130 billion from $27 billion just two years earlier. Share performance, and therefore market value, followed, with the stock advancing 1,400% over the past five years. Now, it's logical for investors to wonder what's next for Nvidia. Will the stock continue to climb after reaching $4 trillion? History offers us a strikingly clear answer. Nvidia's wide net Before leaping in, though, let's zoom in on the Nvidia story so far. As mentioned, the company's focus on GPUs, or chips, and other products specifically for AI was a smart strategic decision. The AI market today is worth about $300 billion and analysts expect it to reach beyond $2 trillion just a few years down the road. Nvidia is well placed to benefit as it has cast a wide net, with the ability to sell AI products to customers across industries and at any point along their AI path. On top of this, Nvidia always has put an emphasis on innovation and excellence: It aims to consistently offer the world's top-performing chips -- and improve them on an annual basis. The company has announced its innovation plans through 2028 and now is rolling out Blackwell Ultra, the upgrade following the release of the original Blackwell this past winter. All of this has resulted in not only stellar revenue growth but also high profitability on sales as we can see through Nvidia's gross margin figures -- they generally have remained above 70%, and the company predicts this will continue. This earnings performance along with a bright outlook for the AI market has helped Nvidia shares to roar higher and reach this latest market cap milestone. Now, let's return to our question and consider whether Nvidia will advance after reaching $4 trillion. And to do this, we'll look at clues that history offers us. Market cap milestones Nvidia has reached several market cap milestones over the past two years. They are as follows: Date Market Cap Milestone Stock Performance in Month to Follow June 13, 2023 $1 trillion +12% Jan. 24, 2024 $1.5 trillion +28% March 1, 2024 $2 trillion +9% June 12, 2024 $3 trillion +3% Data source: YCharts. History suggests Nvidia could advance over the coming month as it's done after reaching market cap milestones in the recent past. And the general trend has been positive since the company reached $1 trillion in market value in June 2023. Since then, the stock has advanced about 300%. Of course, it's important to remember that history doesn't always dictate what will happen next. Stocks and the general indexes have been known to surprise investors, and any unexpected corporate or macroeconomic news could impact what direction a particular stock takes. Another key point is, though it's great to register a gain in a short time period, such as a month, what we're really interested in is holding on to stocks for the long term. You're much more likely to reap bigger rewards by choosing a quality player at a reasonable price and holding on for the long haul as its business develops. And the great news here is Nvidia makes a fantastic long-term investment, thanks to its leadership in a high-growth area, commitment to innovation, and much more. Meanwhile, if history is right, Nvidia also could roar higher in the short term after becoming the most valuable company in the world. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now? Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

ETFs to Play on AI's Growing Momentum
Increasing investments in the AI and Tech market were a dominant theme on Wall Street last year, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing in 2025. This sustained momentum presents a compelling opportunity for investors, as ongoing initiatives and innovation continue to drive growth in the U.S. AI and technology market. Nvidia NVDA shares surged on Wednesday, briefly pushing its market cap above $4 trillion for the first time. This underscored growing investor and market enthusiasm surrounding the AI sector. Nvidia has now become the world's most valuable company, overtaking Microsoft MSFT and Apple AAPL, both of which previously hit the $3 trillion mark, hinting at the outsized influence of tech and tech-related firms on the broader market. This milestone not only highlights the accelerating momentum behind the AI and tech rally but also reflects the immense significance of the AI chipmaker and the technology sector to the broader stock market. According to Reuters, Nvidia's rally further highlights the rising dominance of the technology sector, which has become the largest component of the S&P 500. In fact, the tech sector's share of the index has grown to nearly one-third of total market value. Massive AI Investments to Propel U.S. Toward Tech Dominance With the global AI market projected to surpass $1 trillion by 2031, the field is emerging as an increasingly attractive investment opportunity. According to Statista, the U.S. AI market is expected to witness a CAGR of 26.95% from 2025 to 2031, reaching a valuation of $309.7 billion by 2031, cementing its position as the largest AI market globally. In addition to the optimistic growth forecasts, President Trump has repeatedly emphasized his ambition to make the United States the global leader in AI. This stance further reinforces the country's position as an ideal destination for AI-related investments. Experts remain bullish on the AI infrastructure trade, as global investors ramp up their commitments to the U.S. AI market. SoftBank's Masayoshi Son's proposal for the $1 trillion Arizona hub and President Trump's earlier announcement of the $500 billion 'Stargate' initiative highlights the growing momentum behind AI investments in the U.S. market. ETFs to Explore Below, we highlight funds that investors may consider to capitalize on the AI momentum. AI ETFs Increasing exposure to AI-focused funds presents a compelling opportunity for investors, driven by the growing momentum behind the AI and Tech market in the United States. These developments, along with robust market forecasts, make AI and tech-related ETFs a strategic addition to portfolios with long-term investment horizons. Investors can consider iShares U.S. Technology ETF IYW, Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF FTEC, Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF AIQ and iShares Global Tech ETF IXN and Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF BOTZ. With a one-month average trading volume of about 795,000 shares, AIQ is the most liquid option, ideal for active trading strategies. IYW has also gathered an asset base of $22.08 billion, the largest among the other annual fees, FTEC is the cheapest option, charging 0.08%, more suitable for long-term investing. Uranium ETFs As demand for AI soars and clean energy needs grow, tech giants are turning to nuclear power to fuel energy-intensive data centers to train and operate the large-scale AI models used in generative AI applications. Data centers are energy-intensive, with AI applications consuming even more energy than traditional computing. As a result, most tech giants are shifting toward renewable energy to meet their growing energy needs and exploring nuclear energy as a power source. With an increasing focus on nuclear energy and uranium demand set to grow substantially, uranium ETFs are also an appealing strategic portfolio addition for the long term. Investors can consider Global X Uranium ETF URA, VanEck Uranium+Nuclear Energy ETF NLR, Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF URNJ and Themes Uranium & Nuclear ETF URAN to capitalize on the uranium market's upside potential.
