became the world’s most valuable company on Tuesday, dethroning tech heavyweight Microsoft as its high-end processors play a central role in a race to dominate a surge in artificial intelligence technology. Shares of the chipmaker climbed 3.5% to $135.60, lifting its market capitalization to $3.336 trillion, just days after overtaking iPhone maker Apple to become the second most valuable company.Apple’s stock slipped 1.3%, putting its value at $3.278 trillion.

Tuesday’s gain lifted Nvidia’s stock to a record high and added over $103 billion to its market capitalization. Nvidia commands more than 80% of the market share for AI chips, making it a major winner from surging AI development. Since its blowout forecast about a year ago, the company has consistently breezed past Wall Street’s lofty expectations for revenue and profit, with demand for its graphics processors far outstripping supply as companies rush to embed AI applications.

“A stock split can reduce the price per share, making it more affordable for individual investors to buy. With Nvidia doing a 10:1 stock split, retail investors are the real winners here,“ said Sam North, market analyst at investment platform eToro.
