The US microchip giant Nvidia has gained the entire value of Britain’s biggest listed company in a single day as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom sent shares to a fresh record high.
Nvidia’s shares rose by 10.5pc in early trading on Thursday, adding $245bn (£193bn) to its market value. It came after the company said on Wednesday night that sales had more than trebled in a year.
