Nvidia Tops Market Cap Rankings
Nvidia recently surpassed Microsoft to become the largest company in the world, with a market capitalization of approximately $3 trillion. Meanwhile, Amazon holds the fourth position with a market cap of $2.4 trillion, driven by robust growth in artificial intelligence (AI) and its cloud services segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which commands 30% of the global cloud market.

Meta Platforms, with a user base of 3.4 billion across its apps, is also seeing growth, reporting 16% sales growth and a 27% increase in operating income in Q1. Both companies are positioned to potentially overtake Microsoft in market valuation as they leverage AI to enhance their business models.
