Apple Dethrones Nvidia as World's Most Valuable Company at $4.95T
AAPL sits 68% above its 52-week low of $201.5.
Summary
Apple closed Monday as the world's most valuable publicly traded company, overtaking Nvidia for the first time since April 2025. A 1% gain pushed its market cap to roughly $4.95 trillion, while Nvidia slid 5%, now down 17% from its May peak. The shift reflects growing investor scrutiny of AI infrastructure spending—Apple's strategy of renting compute capacity rather than building massive data centers is suddenly a relative strength. The stock hit a fresh all-time high near $337 ahead of Thursday's Q3 earnings, where management is expected to address the global memory-chip shortage, Apple Intelligence traction, and margin trends. With shares at record levels, the bar is high; any disappointment could reverse the momentum that just carried Apple past Nvidia.
At the time of this announcement, AAPL was trading at $337.75 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $4.9T. The 52-week trading range was $201.50 to $339.57. This news item was assessed with positive market sentiment and an importance score of 8 out of 10. Source: Wiseek News.
