Nvidia Surpasses Microsoft to Reclaim Global Valuation Crown
Nvidia has overtaken Microsoft to retake its position as the world's most valuable publicly traded company, with a market capitalisation reaching approximately $3.77 trillion. The chipmaker's stock surged more than 4 per cent to close at a record $154.31, edging past Microsoft's $3.66 trillion and Apple's $3.01 trillion valuations this Wednesday.

The rally was fuelled by upbeat investor sentiment at Nvidia's annual investor meeting, where CEO Jensen Huang highlighted growth avenues in artificial intelligence and robotics—particularly autonomous vehicles driven by the Nvidia Drive platform. In parallel, Loop Capital raised its price target to $250, citing an incoming 'Golden Wave' of generative AI adoption.
Investor confidence also appears undeterred by current export restrictions in the US against China, which could cost Nvidia up to $8 billion in revenue in the second quarter. Huang criticised these measures, suggesting they have spurred Chinese competitors to accelerate their own technological development. Nonetheless, his remarks, combined with strong demand in China—which accounted for over $17 billion in revenue last fiscal year, representing 13.1 per cent growth—helped sustain bullish sentiment.
The broader semiconductor sector mirrored Nvidia's momentum. Partner companies like Micron delivered robust earnings that signalled continued demand for high-bandwidth memory chips essential to AI workloads, while chipmakers such as Broadcom, Marvell and AMD also recorded gains.
Nvidia's ascent is part of a larger trend: its share price has climbed nearly 15 per cent year-to-date, and approximately 80 per cent higher since early April lows, reversing a steep 37 per cent slump in April amid concerns over China and tariffs. Its stock now trades at roughly 30 times forward earnings—below its five‑year average of 40—pointing to comparatively tempered expectations.
Market analysts argue that Nvidia's dominance in high‑end AI processors gives it durable pricing power and strong margins. Barclays raised its target to $200 and projected a valuation as high as $4.9 trillion, while Bernstein noted robust AI spending will further propel its momentum despite export limitations.
Technical indicators support the bullish case: Nvidia broke through a rising‑wedge pattern; a golden‑cross formation and robust relative strength index readings all point to continued upside, with some predicting a possible move to $205 by late July, provided support holds above the $150 threshold.
Nvidia's dominance adds fuel to a broader tech market upswing. The S&P 500 technology segment hit record highs, driven largely by AI-related optimism. Chief clients such as Microsoft, OpenAI, xAI and Meta continue placing increasing orders, reinforcing Nvidia's central role in the global AI hardware ecosystem.
The company's trajectory contrasts with Microsoft, whose market capitalisation, though still massive, failed to keep pace amid Nvidia's surge: Microsoft stock was last trading at $492.27 with a market cap near $2.79 trillion. Apple trails further behind at around $3.28 trillion.
The dynamic among Nvidia, Microsoft and Apple illustrates a high‑stakes valuation game driven by AI. Nvidia's technical dominance, combined with favourable analytics and supply‑chain signals, supports the thesis that it will retain its lead in the near term. Yet, external factors such as evolving export rules, geopolitical tensions and competitive responses—including efforts by Chinese chipmakers—could pose challenges.

UAE, China strengthen cooperation in energy, renewables, industry
The visit aimed to strengthen bilateral relations and expand cooperation in energy, renewable energy, industry, and infrastructure. During the visit, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber met with Lan Fo'an, China's Minister of Finance, and Liu Jianchao, Head of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (CPC) of China, and Zou Jiayi, President of AIIB in the presence of Hussain bin Ibrahim Al Hammadi, UAE Ambassador to China. Dr. Al Jaber emphasised the UAE's unwavering commitment to strengthening and expanding the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with China, and the importance of launching new initiatives that support the development goals of both nations, with a focus on empowering national companies and enhancing collaboration between the public and private sectors, in a way that supports mutual sustainable economic growth and prosperity. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber held a series of meetings with senior leaders from major Chinese companies, including Wang Yuetao, Chairman of ZhenHua Oil, Liao Zengtai, Chairman of Wanhua, a leading chemicals manufacturing company; Liu Haoling, President of the China Investment Corporation (CIC); Dai Houliang, Chairman of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), one of the world's largest energy and petrochemical companies; Zhang Chuanjiang, Chairman of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC); Zhang Lei, Chairman of Envision, specialising in renewables and smart energy management solutions; Song Hailiang, Chairman of China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC), active in energy and infrastructure projects; and Chen Guanfu, Chairman of POWERCHINA International. The meetings focused on the latest developments in cooperation across energy sectors, including renewables, oil and gas, LNG, refining, and petrochemicals, as well as strategic shipping and storage. They also explored ways to enhance investments in priority areas of mutual interest and potential industrial infrastructure projects, in line with both countries' shared interest to advancing industrial and technological partnerships that support sustainable development, facilitate knowledge transfer and localisation, and boost global competitiveness. China remains the UAE's largest trading partner, with total bilateral trade exceeding US$100 billion in 2024, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 7%, driven primarily by an 18% increase in imports. In the first quarter of 2025, non-oil trade between the two countries grew by approximately 18% compared to the same period last year, supported by a 32.5% rise in exports, a 20.2% increase in re-exports, and a 12.7% growth in imports.

African Banker at Davos - Is the ‘Africa risk premium' fact or myth?
One of the most contentious and emotionally-charged topics among African leaders and financial experts is what they consider the unfairly low ratings they receive from interna- tional credit rating agencies such as S&P, Fitch, etc. They argue that the perception of African risk is often much greater than the reality and this seeps into the ratings – making loans to Africa much more expensive – the so-called 'Africa premium'. Mamadou Toure, co-founder of Africa House, who moderated the session, ar- gued that countries in other continents with similar or lower levels of stability are rated higher than African countries. Responding, Yann Le Pallec, president of ratings agency S&P Global, said their evaluations are grounded in rigorous, data-driven methodologies. He said that ratings agencies exist to provide investors with the right informa- tion to help their decision-making. 'We do fundamental credit analy- sis, which means that we try to assess whether a country is likely to pay back its debt according to terms and con- ditions of the bonds, which are likely bought on the international market,' he explained. He pointed out that the methodolo- gies employed by ratings agencies are transparent and publicly available, which he said meant that third par- ties can verify and even replicate the model to check the conclusions ar- rived at. 'We are a pure knowledge analysis company. But it's when we compare and contrast our views with those of investors that we can understand whether we're seeing a good picture and whether we've done a good job. And that creates, day to day, an ef- fective challenge for our analysts to improve the quality of the product,' he continued. S&P Global, Le Pallec said, en- courages third parties to challenge its findings in order to ensure greater transparency and improvement. Are countries 'painted with the same brush'? Critics of the ratings agencies contend, however, that their decision-making is compromised by lack of knowledge and understanding of the unique fea- tures of African economies. They argue that ratings agencies paint all African countries with a sim- ilar brush, ignoring the differences between them. Le Pallec acknowledged these challenges, noting that the con- tinent has a 'multiplicity of economies that are very different from each other in terms of GDP growth, ease of doing business and other factors'. Lack of easily accessible data in any economy, he argued however, can itself be indicative of the country's creditwor- thiness. Attempts by African countries to take control of how they are portrayed, Le Pallec said, are welcome and will help debunk unhelpful myths. 'It is in everyone's interest to make sure that investors have got the right information, the right intelligence, so that they can make their decisions,' he suggested. Multilateral development banks must also play a greater role in channelling funds to the continent, which he says has a lot of potential. 'By 2035, 65% of the global GDP growth will be generated by emerging markets and frontier markets. The bulk of those are based in Africa. That's the opportunity we're talking about,' he stressed. Africa risk premium is real, say critics Speaking on the same panel, Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli, president of the ONE Campaign, stressed the critical need for Africans to take control of the narrative surrounding the continent, to counter the damaging effects of misconceptions and generalised risk assessments. She argued that Africa is often un- fairly treated as a monolithic entity, with assessments based on the continent's weakest links rather than recognising the diversity of its 54 countries. 'Every time I have the opportunity, I say I want to talk about countries. So we're not talking about Africa, but rather we are talking about Nigeria, Kenya or South Africa,' she said. Negative reporting, insufficient data and biased credit ratings, Nwuneli ar- gued, are responsible for the 'Africa risk premium', which means that Af- rican countries face higher borrowing costs than other regions. This mispricing costs African na- tions billions annually, exacerbating debt distress in countries that are already struggling, she argued. To address this, Nwuneli called for the creation of a Cost of Capital Commis- sion, using Africa's current position as G20 host to prioritise the issue on the global agenda. Akinwumi Adesina, president of the African Development Bank, is among those who have backed the creation of an African credit rating agency as an alternative to the US-based giants. Such an agency would have superior data on and insight into the continent to enable it to make better assessments of countries' fiscal positions, he told African Banker. (See page 52.) 'Some people think that it's just the African Union going to set up some agency for itself. Actually, it would be an independently-run, top-notch professional agency that provides the counterfactuals,' he explained. 'When you go to the doctor and run tests, you have the right to ask for a second opinion, don't you? Yes, so it's time to do that.' Moky Makura, of campaign group Africa No Filter, put the cost of nega- tive media stereotypes on the conti- nent at $4.2bn, but argued that the real figure could be much higher. 'It's much bigger than that but this figure is meant to get people talking. And this is an amount that can educate 12m children in Africa,' she explained. More Africans, she said, must be engaged in telling compelling stories about the continent, helping to reshape percep- tions and showcase Africa's progress and potential. The ultimate goal, she said, is to foster a more balanced and accurate global understanding of Africa. ■ Moky Makura, of campaign group Africa No Filter, put the cost of negative media stereotypes on the continent at $4.2bn. © Copyright IC Publications 2022 Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
