Nvidia climbed back toward a $1 trillion market value early Friday as the stock regained ground and investors continued to buy into the AI growth story.

The shares climbed more than 5% Thursday, taking the chip maker's market cap to $982.3 billion after it fell to a $934 billion valuation Wednesday. In premarket trading Friday the stock was 1.6% higher at $404.20, just short of the $404.86 level needed for the company to reclaim a $1 trillion valuation.

The company's subsequent fall after its brief entry into the exclusive club coincided with several other AI-exposed stocks declining, including C3.ai.

That raised the possibility the AI frenzy may be calming, however Nvidia's (ticker: NVDA) path back toward the milestone -- reached only by Apple $(AAPL)$, Amazon $(AMZN)$, Alphabet $(GOOGL)$, Microsoft $(MSFT)$, Tesla $(TSLA)$, and Meta Platforms $(META)$ -- suggests that may not be the case.

Those six heavyweights have all closed above $1 trillion market value, Nvidia has not. A 1.8% rise in Friday's trading will change that.
