Nvidia, a leading player in the semiconductor sector and part of the Nasdaq-100 Index, has surged to regain its title as the world's most valuable company. The chipmaker's market capitalisation now stands ahead of Microsoft's, reflecting the increasing demand for Nvidia's AI chips, especially from its contract manufacturer TSMC. Despite some challenges, including a forecasted charge due to export restrictions, Nvidia continues to perform well on the back of strong first-quarter results. The company’s stock, which had been in a downtrend earlier in the year, has made a remarkable comeback, largely driven by the ongoing surge in AI demand.
