AI-focused tech firms see big jump in market cap in June

Date: Jul 1, 2024

Artificial intelligence-focused companies, mostly chipmakers, saw big gains in their market capitalisation at the end of June, with Nvidia briefly overtaking Microsoft to become the most valuable company in the world.

Nvidia shares rose as much as 27% in June, boosting its market capitalisation to $3.34 trillion, before giving up some of their gains later in the month due to profit booking and concerns over its high valuations.

Microsoft's market capitalisation increased by 7.6%, while that of Apple Inc. surged 9.6% over the past month.

Meanwhile, Amazon.com Inc, hit $2 trillion in market value last month, becoming the fifth United States company to achieve the milestone, riding on AI-influenced enthusiasm.

Broadcom Inc.'s market capitalisation jumped about 20% last month after it increased its annual revenue forecast for AI-related chips by 10% and announced a stock split to capitalise on this year's rally in its shares.
