Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), the undisputed leader in artificial intelligence (AI), currently enjoys a market capitalization of approximately $4.78 trillion.
At the start of the year, the chipmaker was worth $4.63 trillion, meaning Nvidia has added roughly $150 billion to its market cap in the first half of 2026.
The current figure represents a 3.14% gain in the six month period, according to data Finbold retrieved from Companies Market Cap on June 30, when Nvidia shares were trading at $196.48.

Nvidia market cap in 2026
As the same data shows, Nvidia remains the largest company in the world, surpassing Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) at spot number two, which has a market cap of $4.28 trillion, or $500 billion less than Nvidia. For more context, Nvidia shares are the second most valuable asset globally, surpassed only by gold, which is worth $28.25 trillion at the time of writing.
However, it must be noted that the past month has been quite rought for Nvidia, which is on track to close the quarter on 12% monthly loss. As a result, the company’s current market capitalization, although certainly impressive, is way below its all-time record of approximately $5.72 trillion, reached on May 14, 2026.
With the share prices dropping, management has been making some noteworthy moves to offset the losses. For example, on June 29, Nvidia announced a new partnership with Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) to increase its AI platform and Nemotron model adoption with the U.S. government.
While the deal has already allowed the stock to edge higher nearly 1.5%, near-term volatility is expected to continue, and Nvidia has a long way to go to reach its previous peak. Specifically, to reclaim the $5 trillion mark, the stock would have to rise 4.6%, and to reach a new record above $5.72 trillion, it would have to rally 19.7%.
