Why It's Important: Nvidia's transformation from a gaming GPU company to a global leader in artificial intelligence, data centers, and high-performance computing is nothing short of remarkable.

Founded in 1993, Nvidia initially focused on graphics processing units (GPUs) for gaming, but its deep investments in AI and machine learning have propelled it into cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, and enterprise AI applications.

This strategic evolution has made Nvidia the second-largest company by market cap in 2025 at $3.215 trillion, despite a 4.18% decline from 2024, which ended at $3.355 trillion.

The company's meteoric rise has been marked by staggering growth, having surged from just $17.73 billion in 2015 to over $1.223 trillion by 2023, representing a 235.88% year-over-year increase in 2023 alone.

While it faced a sharp decline in 2022, dropping by 50.47%, the rebound in 2023 and 2024 reaffirmed its dominance in the AI and semiconductor industries.

Price Action: Nvidia’s stock fell 1.23% in after-hours trading to $129.67 after rising 3.67% earlier on Wednesday, closing at $131.28, according to Benzinga Pro.
