Nvidia becomes the world's first $4 trillion company
Nvidia became the first publicly traded company to close with a market capitalization above $4 trillion on July 10, driven by unprecedented demand for its graphics processing units.
Surging demand
Nvidia's stock climbed more than 2% during trading on Thursday, briefly pushing its market value past $4 trillion before finishing the day above that threshold. The company's shares have gained over 170% in 2025 as businesses around the world race to adopt artificial intelligence tools that depend on Nvidia hardware.
Nvidia's processors are widely used for AI training and deployment by technology giants, cloud providers and research labs. The company's quarterly revenue has jumped more than 200% year over year, with the majority of that growth coming from data center and AI chip sales. Nvidia controls more than 80% of the market for high-performance chips used in large-scale AI computing.

Jensen Huang's rising wealth
Nvidia's historic rally has also propelled the net worth of its Taiwanese American co-founder and CEO. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Jensen Huang's net worth reached $144 billion in July, making him one of the wealthiest people in the world and surpassing Buffett's $143 billion estimated net worth.
Speaking at Nvidia's annual developer conference in June, Huang said, 'We are at the beginning of a new industrial revolution. The demand for accelerated computing and generative AI is growing exponentially.'

Industry impact and market reaction
Nvidia's climb to a $4 trillion market cap places it ahead of other technology giants including Microsoft and Apple, which have traded near but have not closed above that milestone. The company's position as the dominant supplier of AI hardware has given it a significant advantage over competitors such as AMD and Intel.
Major cloud service providers including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud continue to expand their purchases of Nvidia's high-performance H100 and Blackwell GPUs, leading to global supply shortages and premium pricing. Nvidia's performance has been a key factor in record gains for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in 2024, prompting fund managers and index providers to increase the company's weighting in investment portfolios.

Two new Target stores coming to New Jersey. Here's where.
Target recently announced plans to expand its footprint by adding dozens of stores in 22 states, including two new Target stores in New Jersey, with one much larger than an average store. In March, Target announced plans to drive more than $15 billion in sales growth that included investing in opening or remodeling stores that offer "space and flexibility to incorporate the best of Target's shopping experience." The big box store had plans to open a total of 300 stores over the next decade. According to Target's website, the two stores opening in New Jersey are: (Hunterdon County): 325 Route 202 (75,525 square feet, smaller than average store) (Essex County): 235 Prospect Ave. (150,000 square feet, larger than average store) Target notes they chose locations across 22 states based off several factors including community need, site constraints and nearby Target stores. According to the website, there is a Target within 10 miles of most doorsteps in America (although if you live in a rural area, take that with a grain of salt). In addition to two stores opening in New Jersey, two Target stores are opening in New York State and two in Pennsylvania, according to Target's website. States with multiple opening include: California (4) Florida (6) North Carolina (4) South Carolina (3) Texas (6) A tentative opening date for the Target store in West Orange is set for Fall 2025, according to reporting by Patch. Construction was underway in May at the former Kmart in the West Orange Plaza, which is anchored by a Whole Foods supermarket, according to The Target store in Flemington, the first in Hunterdon County, is expected to open this summer, according to Target. It will be open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. The store will be the 53rd to open in the state. Target's new store designs are meant to better service guests and team members, with a more open layout and localized elements to inspire and serve guests, according to Target. Stores will continue to open in all sizes, although the plan is to focus on a larger footprint in the coming years. The new stores will offer updated larger layouts, enhanced in-store pickup options and a larger assortment of merchandise, from food and beverages to entertainment, clothing and accessories. New Jersey currently has 52 Target stores, according to the Target website. Find a store near you by checking out their store directory.

Google Keep could finally add the search option you've wanted for years (APK teardown)
TL;DR Google Keep might finally let users search within a single note. The app currently allows finding content across all notes. With the new 'Find in note' feature, users will be able to locate something specific within one particularly long or detailed note. For years, Google Keep users have been asking for a simple but much-needed feature, and it looks like their pleas are finally being answered. We've found strong evidence suggesting that Google's note-taking app will soon give users the ability to search within a single note. As crazy as it sounds, Google Keep does not support searching within notes right now. While the app's existing search function works well for finding content across all notes, it doesn't help much when you're trying to locate something specific within one particularly long or detailed note. Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover You're reading anstory on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. While digging through version 5.25.282.00.90 of the Google Keep Android app, we discovered a new 'Find in note' feature. With some effort, we were able to surface the new option inside individual notes in Google Keep. The feature can be accessed by tapping the three-dot menu in the bottom right corner of any note. The new 'Find in note' search option is listed right on top of other note actions like 'Delete,' 'Make a copy,' 'Send,' and more. Unfortunately, the feature isn't fully functional just yet. Tapping the option currently causes the app to crash, which suggests it's still in the early stages of development or testing. Still, this is a promising step for Google Keep, especially for users who rely on it for long-form content, checklists, and detailed notes. A similar feature is already available on Apple's default Notes app for iPhones. Samsung's Notes app also supports searching within a single note, including handwritten notes, which is a nice touch. While it's not clear when (or if) the feature will roll out to Google Keep, the fact that it's being worked on at all is a good sign. We'll be keeping an eye on future Keep updates to see how this develops. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
