This remarkable milestone is driven by the soaring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QojUHxPOdKY\">global demand for AI chips<\/a>, a trend that shows no signs of slowing down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/global\/en\/trading-markets\/stocks\">chipmaker\u2019s shares<\/a> saw a climb of 5.16% on Wednesday ahead of the much-anticipated stock split scheduled for Friday.
