Nvidia has made a historic leap in the stock market, with its market cap rapidly approaching and subsequently surpassing the $2 trillion mark, a first for chipmakers. This surge in valuation follows Nvidia's recent earnings report, which has been described as one for the history books, leading to a record-breaking single-day market cap gain of approximately $277 billion. This gain not only exceeds the previous record set by Meta (formerly Facebook) of nearly $200 billion on February 2nd but also marks the largest one-day market cap addition in history, surpassing the entire market value of companies like Intel ($241 billion) and equating to the worth of one Bank of America. Nvidia's market cap has grown from $100 billion to $2 trillion in five years, showcasing an unprecedented rate of growth since the company went public in 1999 with a market cap of $1 billion.
