Nvidia Reclaims Second-Most Valuable Company Title After Brief Microsoft Overtake

Nvidia reclaimed its position as the world's second-most valuable company with a $4.03 trillion valuation after Microsoft dropped 3.25% to $527.45, wiping out around $130 billion in market value. Earlier on Tuesday, Microsoft had briefly surpassed Nvidia for the first time since June 2025 as Nvidia shares tumbled more than 6% to around $166.83 to $167.11 amid a board probe into foreign intelligence scrutiny targeting CEO Jensen Huang. Microsoft subsequently reversed due to hotter October consumer price inflation of 0.4%, rising Treasury yields, and Anthropic's launch of competing AI tool Claude Sheets.
