Nvidia Corp.’s stock has rallied so much this year that it’s now threatening to overtake
Amazon.com Inc. to become the fourth most valuable US company.
Having added nearly
Tesla Inc.’s entire market capitalization in the past two months alone, Nvidia is worth $1.72 trillion, just shy of Amazon at $1.76 trillion, as of Thursday’s close. Google-owner Alphabet, the third most valuable US company after
Microsoft Corp. and
Apple Inc., isn’t too far away at $1.82 trillion.
The shares are up more than 40% in so far in 2024 amid signs that demand for its chips used in artificial intelligence computing remains strong. But the stock has run so far, so fast that it’s reigniting concerns about whether the gains are sustainable, ahead of Nvidia’s earnings due later this month.
The surge prompted Michael Cuggino, president at Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, to sell some Nvidia shares.
“There is so much money chasing it that we thought it was prudent to trim our position a bit,” he said in an interview. “It still has a good future, but it’s too rich.”
