Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been one of the hottest stocks on the market in the past five years, delivering remarkable gains of 1,300% to investors during this period and significantly outpacing the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite's returns of about 100%.

The semiconductor giant's terrific upside can be attributed to the healthy demand for its graphics processing units (GPUs), which are powering multiple applications ranging from artificial intelligence (AI) servers to cars to personal computers to "digital twins." These multiple end markets have led to outstanding growth in Nvidia's revenue and earnings over the past five years.

Nvidia's market capitalization of $2.5 trillion makes it the third-largest company globally. The good part is that Nvidia could deliver more gains in the future thanks to a sizable addressable market that could allow it to sustain healthy revenue and earnings growth for years to come.

However, there is another tech giant that could outpace Nvidia in the long run, thanks to its presence in several multibillion-dollar end markets. Let's take a closer at that name and check why it has the potential to overtake Nvidia's market cap in the next five years.

Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the world's fourth-largest company, ranking behind Nvidia with a market cap of $1.9 trillion. That gap puts Nvidia's market cap 30% larger than Amazon's.

Amazon has underperformed both Nvidia and the Nasdaq Composite over the past five years, registering gains of just 45% during this period. Another thing worth noting is that Amazon stock has lost about 20% of its value so far in 2025 amid broader weakness in the stock market due to tariff-fueled unease.

However, the recent pullback means that investors now have an opportunity to buy a solid tech company that can benefit from multiple lucrative markets at an attractive valuation. Amazon is one of the leading e-commerce companies in the world, and it also dominates the massive cloud computing market that's set to get bigger thanks to AI.

Amazon reportedly controlled 40% of the U.S. e-commerce market last year. That's a great position to be in as the U.S. e-commerce market is expected to show a healthy annual growth rate of 15% through the end of the decade, generating annual revenue of over $19 trillion.
