Nvidia, the chipmaker that makes graphics processing units (GPUs), hit a $1 trillion market cap on Tuesday. The company’s shares opened at $409.50, giving it a market capitalization of $1.002 trillion.
Nvidia’s stock has been on a tear in recent months, thanks to strong demand for its GPUs. The company’s chips are used in a wide variety of applications, including gaming, artificial intelligence, and data centres.
Nvidia’s strong performance has helped to boost the broader semiconductor market. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said on Tuesday that global semiconductor sales rose 16.3% in the first quarter of 2023, to $55.6 billion.
The SIA said that the growth was driven by strong demand for semiconductors from a variety of industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial.
