Shares of the chip maker Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) continue to trend higher thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI)-led demand. As a result of this growth, Nvidia’s market capitalization has increased substantially, reaching closer to Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL). However, analysts’ average price target indicates that it is unlikely that NVDA’s market cap will surpass that of AMZN and GOOGL over the next 12 months.
Notably, NVDA stock is up about 216% in one year and has gained more than 41% year-to-date. As a result, Nvidia’s market capitalization reached $1.73 trillion based on its closing price on February 7. In comparison, Amazon stock sports a market cap of $1.77 trillion, about 2.3% higher than NVDA. Moreover, GOOGL’s market cap of $1.81 trillion is 4.5% higher than that of Nvidia.
