Despite $5 trillion proving a difficult valuation to hold for Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock through late 2026 and the first half of 2026, ChatGPT’s advanced artificial intelligence (AI) estimates that an upsurge to $10 trillion is within reach.
Specifically, the popular AI platform noted the speed and scale of the expansion of investments in infrastructure related to the technology it is itself based on and reflected in particular on the partnerships of blue-chip chipmaker.
Additionally, ChatGPT cited growing beyond a traditional GPU maker in recent years and turning into one of the pivotal players in the industry as additional proof that Nvidia can turn into a $10 trillion company.
Thus, the AI estimated that the semiconductor giant is likely to end 2026 at $5.5 trillion, 2027 at a significantly higher $7.2 trillion, and then soar in earnest starting in 2028 to hit $10 trillion by September 15 of the year.
Why ChatGPT estimates Nvidia valuation will hit $10 trillion in 2028
Simultaneously, ChatGPT explained its timetable by stating that faster growth is unlikely without a major rerating of the company – as was the case after 2022 – and that the overall AI infrastructure sector would have to mature and fully prove its ability to support a firm larger than the GDP of the vast majority of countries.
A soaring above $10 trillion is unlikely to come much later than 2028, however, as the scale of ongoing investments signals compute is widely viewed as a strategic resource and one Nvidia is well-positioned to dominate thanks to the new Vera Rubin hardware.
Meanwhile, OpenAI’s flagship product also warned that, despite being plausible, $10 trillion remains a highly ambitious target, leaving room for it to not be met after all within the foreseeable future.
Nvidia stock performance in 2026
Elsewhere, Nvidia stock performance since 2026 started equally indicates that the company remains on the ascendancy, but also that it has already grown sufficiently to reach, at the very least, a glass ceiling.
NVDA shares began the year at $188.85 and have risen 9.53% to $206.84 since. Between January 2 and July 27, 2025, the semiconductor equity was up 20%. Within the same period in 2024, Nvidia stock soared more than 130%, highlighting just how ambitious the $10 trillion valuation target is.
