Nvidia (NVDA) is creating unprecedented 'concentration' in the U.S. stock market, accounting for approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the S&P 500.

According to Benzinga on September 3 (local time), market analysis outlet The Kobeissi Letter analyzed that Nvidia's market capitalization has grown to a size equivalent to 16.3% of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). Nvidia's market capitalization surpassed Apple's (AAPL) $4.74 trillion, reaching $5.41 trillion. The Kobeissi Letter described Nvidia's rapid growth as "making history."

Nvidia's size alone is overwhelming even when compared to major S&P 500 sectors. According to Benzinga, Nvidia's market capitalization is larger than the combined size of the energy, utilities, real estate, consumer staples, and materials sectors. As demand for artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors surged, one company has grown its influence to the extent that it dictates the direction of the entire U.S. stock market.

The pace of performance growth also supports market concentration. Nvidia presented a Q3 revenue forecast of $108 billion, an increase of approximately 1,730% compared to four years ago. Q2 revenue was $96.22 billion, exceeding Wall Street's estimate of $92.11 billion. Raymond James analyst Simon Leopold predicted that Nvidia's annual revenue could grow to $1 trillion in fiscal year 2029.

Nvidia's weight is also prominent in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) allocates 22.11% of its assets to Nvidia. The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) has a 14.47% weighting, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) has 9.01%. Nvidia's weighting in the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) also reaches 8.44%.

Nvidia first surpassed Apple to become the world's most valuable company by market capitalization in June 2024. Since then, it has traded the top spot with Apple and Microsoft (MSFT), and in October 2025, it surpassed $5 trillion in market capitalization for the first time ever. Nvidia's growth, which began in the artificial intelligence semiconductor market, is now significantly changing the composition of the S&P 500's overall corporate value.
