The total market value of the Magnificent Seven tech giants soared past $22.2 trillion on Wednesday, powered by a surge in Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), which crossed the $5 trillion valuation mark for the first time ever—now eclipsing the entire economy of Japan.
Shares of the AI chip leader jumped 4.4% in early trading, building on Tuesday's 5% rally, after CEO Jensen Huang revealed the company has booked $500 billion in AI datacenter orders for 2026, and announced plans to build seven AI supercomputers for the U.S. Department of Energy.
Nvidia has now gained more than 55% year-to-date, outperforming all other names in the Magnificent Seven group and continuing a streak that saw it rise 239% in 2023 and 171% in 2024.
At $5 trillion, Nvidia is now bigger than Japan's GDP, which sits at $4.4 trillion—the world’s third–largest, according to the latest IMF data.
The Magnificent Seven—Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), Nvidia Corp. and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)—now carry a combined value higher than China's entire economy, which stands at approximately $19.5 trillion, trailing the group by over 15%.
The top two names, Nvidia and Microsoft, now command over $9 trillion together, exceeding the combined GDP of Germany and the United Kingdom – Europe’s largest economies, which stands at $8.65 trillion.
Apple also joined the $4 trillion club this week, becoming the third company in history to do so after Microsoft and Nvidia.
In terms of market concentration, Magnificent Seven stocks now represent over 37% of the S&P 500.

"AI euphoria is once again causing the Magnificent Seven to outperform the Impressive-493," Ed Yardeni said on Wednesday.
