NVIDIA's commanding position in the AI chip market, fueled by surging demand for its GPUs and data center hardware, has propelled its market capitalization well ahead of rivals, underpinning trader consensus that it will remain the world's largest company by the end of May. Recent surges past the $5 trillion threshold reflect strong earnings momentum and AI infrastructure spending, outpacing Alphabet's cloud growth and Apple's steady consumer hardware sales. With just two weeks left, limited time remains for meaningful shifts, though a major earnings surprise from Alphabet or unexpected regulatory pressure on semiconductor exports could narrow the gap.
