What happened

A number of AI-focused companies, primarily chipmakers, see their market capitalisation surge in June, with Nvidia (NASDAQ :NVDA) briefly overtaking Microsoft (NASDAQ :MSFT) to become the world’s most valuable company.

Nvidia shares rose 27% in June, but give up some of those gains later that month amid profit booking and concerns about its high valuation. Microsoft’s market cap is up 7.6%, while Apple’s (NASDAQ :AAPL) market cap has surged 9.6% over the past month.

Meanwhile, Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ :AMZN) hit a $2 trillion market cap last month, becoming the fifth U.S. company to achieve that milestone thanks to the impact of artificial intelligence.

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ :AVGO) last month raises its annual revenue forecast for AI-related chips by 10 percent and announces a stock split to take advantage of this year’s stock rally, after which the company’s market value jumps about 20 percent.
