The stock rose as much as 26.4% to $385.99 in early Thursday trading, the largest one-day percent increase for Nvidia since 2016.

If the gains hold through Thursday trading, the graphics chip maker could beat Amazon for the largest one-day gain in market capitalization of any U.S. company. It would need to close at $382.82 or higher to surpass Amazon’s record on Feb. 4, 2022.

As Nvidia gears up for an AI-driven sales boom, the chip maker is getting closer to joining an exclusive club: the handful of globally listed companies with a $1 trillion-plus valuation.

Nvidia (NVDA)’s stock has surged in recent months, lifting the company’s market capitalization above other heavyweights such as Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and Meta Platforms.

  • At Wednesday’s close, Nvidia’s market cap was about $754 billion, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

In recent trading, Nvidia’s shares stood more than 20% higher, at around $378. To get to $1 trillion, the shares would need to close at $404.86, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
