Can Micron Catch Up to Nvidia's $5.5 Trillion Market Cap?
The memory-chip maker might now occupy a more valuable bottleneck position in the AI build-out than Nvidia.
Overview
Micron (NASDAQ: MU) caught many investors by surprise when it surged from a market cap of less than $100 billion at the start of 2025 to a more than $1 trillion behemoth this summer, but the memory-chip maker may have what it takes to become the world's most valuable company. To take that crown would require it to top Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) market cap, which is currently $5.5 trillion.
That wouldn't be easy, but it's not out of the question, either. Micron has surged by 673% over the past 12 months alone, while Nvidia has only increased by 37% over the same stretch.
Details
Investors shouldn't expect Micron to keep delivering 673% returns each year, but there are reasons to believe that Micron will outperform Nvidia for some time and potentially become the world's most valuable company.
