The U.S. stock trading volume rankings for Wednesday revealed that Nvidia claimed the top spot, with a trading volume of $28.977 billion and its stock price closing 1% higher. The company has declared an early launch for its next-generation Vera Rubin computing platform, anticipated to enter service in the latter half of 2026. Citi projects that this development will unlock a $5 trillion AI market opportunity. Tesla followed, with a trading volume of $25.81 billion, ranking second, but its stock price dipped 0.36% at the close. This decline was attributed to a U.S. senator's proposal mandating new passenger vehicles to be equipped with manual door unlocking mechanisms, a move that comes after Tesla announced it was redesigning its door handles. Apple secured the third position, with a trading volume of $12.588 billion, and its stock price closed 0.77% lower as JPMorgan Chase is set to take over its credit card operations. Google's Class A shares, with a trading volume of $11.238 billion, ranked fifth, and their stock price soared 2.43%. Notably, at the market close, Alphabet (Google's parent company) surpassed Apple in market capitalization. Meta Platforms occupied the eighth spot, with a trading volume of $8.308 billion, and its stock price decreased 1.81% due to the postponement of the global launch of its smart glasses, caused by a surge in U.S. market demand and depleted inventory. Intel, with a trading volume of $7.12 billion, ranked eleventh, and its stock price jumped 6.47% after announcing the release of its AI PC chip series based on the 18A process at CES. Eli Lilly, with a trading volume of $5.127 billion, ranked fourteenth, and its stock price climbed 4.14% on news of its planned acquisition of Ventyx Biosciences for over $1 billion. TSMC, with a trading volume of $3.755 billion, ranked seventeenth, and its stock price fell 2.67% as Qualcomm is reportedly in discussions with Samsung regarding 2nm chip foundry cooperation.
