This week, the California-based chip manufacturer reached a historic milestone, becoming the first company ever to exceed a market capitalisation of USD 5 trillion. Its share price rose by around 10% in October alone, driven by the growing importance of artificial intelligence and a series of new partnerships – including with OpenAI, Palantir, Oracle and the US Department of Energy. On Wednesday, the shares hit a new record high, closing at USD 204.04. 

With its current market value, Nvidia now exceeds the economic output of Germany – Europe's largest economy generated a gross domestic product of EUR 4.3 trillion (around USD 4.8 trillion) in 2024.

US tech giants Microsoft and Apple follow in second and third place among the world's largest listed companies, each with a market capitalisation of around USD 4 trillion. 

Despite their recent record-breaking run, analysts believe that Nvidia shares still have upside potential. According to Bloomberg, the twelve-month price target lies at USD 226.80. On 19 November, the US chip manufacturer will have to prove whether these lofty expectations can be substantiated by hard figures when it presents its third-quarter results.

For investors who want to benefit from the yield potential in Nvidia without investing directly in the shares, a reverse convertible may be an interesting option. The USD product has a strike of 87% and offers a guaranteed coupon of 12.80% p.a.
