Prediction: This Company Could Overtake Nvidia as the Largest in the World in 2026

Group 1 - Nvidia is the world's largest company with a market cap of approximately $4.6 trillion, driven by its focus on AI data centers and is expected to have a strong year in 2026 [1] - The only companies with a realistic chance to surpass Nvidia are Apple, Alphabet, and Microsoft, valued at $4.1 trillion, $3.8 trillion, and $3.6 trillion respectively, with a significant valuation drop for others [2] - Apple is unlikely to overtake Nvidia due to its struggle to achieve over 10% growth in the past three years and lack of growth catalysts [3][4] Group 2 - Microsoft has a solid AI strategy but lacks its own generative AI model, which may hinder its ability to control its future [5] - Alphabet is seen as the most viable candidate to potentially surpass Nvidia, despite entering 2025 with uncertainties regarding its core business and AI capabilities [6][8] - Alphabet's Google Search maintains its dominance, and its AI platform, Google Gemini, is emerging as a competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT, alongside a favorable court ruling regarding monopoly concerns [7]
