Nvidia has officially become the first publicly-traded company in the world ever to cross the $5 trillion market-capitalization mark. This milestone has strengthened Nvidia’s dominant position in the artificial-intelligence (AI) ecosystem and it also signals a shift in how markets value tech players.

The rally in Nvidia stocks recently is powered by the soaring demand for AI-chips and data-centre infrastructure, including deals worth $500 billion in bookings alone.

If those numbers hold, Nvidia stock could continue to command a premium. But investors must remember: even the strongest trends can cool when expectations exceed reality.
