NASDAQ Index Turns Positive in 2025: ETFs Capitalize on This Surge. The technology sector, particularly semiconductor companies, has been a key driver of the NASDAQ rebound. Chip manufacturers like NVIDIA (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) highlight the strength of this sector. NVDA reclaimed its title as the world's most valuable company, with a market capitalization of $3.45 trillion. Since its stock price just surpassed $94 in early April, it has surged by nearly 50%, adding over a trillion dollars to its market value in less than two months. This rebound indicates renewed investor confidence. At the same time, Broadcom almost achieved record levels in its quarterly results, driven by its thriving AI product line and strategic acquisition of VMware.
