Nvidia, one step away from dethroning Apple

The latest earnings have raised Nvidia’s market value to 3.39 trillion dollarsjust below Apple’s 3.5 billion and above Microsoft’s 3.1 billion.

Nvidia has been the biggest winner on Wall Street in a race between Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and other big tech companies for dominating emerging AI technology.

“We believe that leading AI companies (…) face an investment environment characterized by a prisoner’s dilemma: each is individually incentivized to continue spending, since the costs of not doing so are (potentially) devastating”TD Cowen analysts wrote in a report on Sunday.

As investors prepare for quarterly earnings season, Apple rose nearly 2% and Microsoft rose 0.9%, helping the S&P 500 index improve 0.8% to its own all-time closing high.

Although Nvidia’s rally propelled the S&P 500 to all-time highs, Investors are concerned that optimism around AI could evaporate if signs emerge of a slowdown in spending on the technology.
