Shares of the chip maker Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) continue to trend higher thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI)-led demand. As a result of this growth, Nvidia’s market capitalization has increased substantially, reaching closer to Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL). However, analysts’ average price target indicates that it is unlikely that NVDA’s market cap will surpass that of AMZN and GOOGL over the next 12 months.

As a result, Nvidia’s market capitalization reached $1.73 trillion based on its closing price on February 7. In comparison, Amazon stock sports a market cap of $1.77 trillion, about 2.3% higher than NVDA. Moreover, GOOGL’s market cap of $1.81 trillion is 4.5% higher than that of Nvidia.
