Nvidia briefly reached a market capitalization of $4 trillion on Wednesday, making it the first company in the world to reach the milestone and solidifying its position as one of Wall Street's most-favored stocks.

Nvidia became the first publicly traded company to surpass a $4 trillion market capitalization value, 13 months after surpassing the $3 trillion mark and making it the world’s most valuable company ahead of Apple and Microsoft.

Shares of Nvidia ended up 0.75 percent at $164.10, giving it a market value of $4.004 trillion as it benefits from an ongoing surge in demand for artificial-intelligence technologies. Nvidia’s stock market value briefly peaked above $4 trillion on Wednesday before closing at about $3.97 trillion.
