Here’s the Staggering Per-Employee Value of Nvidia

What you will meet in an unlikely, to make sure that your employer was sold and every worker got an equal share of Tech? For Nvidia employees, we are talking about millions and millions of dollars.

The world’s most valuable company NVIDIA (NVDA) costs around $ 3.5 trillion. With just 36,000 employees, its market capitalization per employee exceeds $ 90 million. It is about three times a contestant Broadcom per-employee value, and it is Apple’s (AAPL) $ 18 million and Microsoft’s (MSFT) $ 15 million dwarf.

These figures were recently crunched by Deutush Bank Research Strategist Jim Reid, who were surprised: “Are today’s biggest companies structurally appointing less people than the past?”

To answer that question, Reid saw some of the most valuable companies in America since 1950 and their respective headcounts were at their peak. One may assume that there has been a structural change towards small staff rolls as technological progress has improved efficiency, but history suggests that the “employment density” in the largest companies in the US goes through cycles.

Some companies with headcounts like NVIDIA have the same value

In the 1950s, America’s largest company General Motors (GM) appointed around 600,000 people at its peak. A few years later, in the late 60s, Eastman Kodak crossed the GM with only one-six to the market price. In the 70s, General Electric appointed around 400,000 people.

These are much more task forces than Nvidia, which is in one of its own leagues from a market cap from a perfect perspective per employee, says Reid. But some companies with comparable headcount with NVIDIA have become the world’s most valuable. In the late 1970s, the margin of oil company Amoko was padded by elevated oil prices, helping only 50,000 workers to increase their market cap.

Cisco is a historical example that resembles the most Nvidia. Like Cisco in the late 90s, Nvidia “is operating on operationally, highly dependent on intellectual property and engineering talent, and outsources more labor-intensive aspects of production,” Reed wrote.

The analysis may give some relief to those who will resulting in large -scale unemployment as a result of the spread of artificial intelligence as AI agents and robots replace human workers.

“What is clear through history that while we have always found ways to provide employment to people, how they are distributed in firms and areas It is constantly developing, “Reid wrote.
