Apple briefly tops $5 trillion market value for first time

Apple became the most valuable company in the world earlier this month, overtaking chipmaker Nvidia which had been at the top since June ​2025 and was the first company ever to breach the $5 trillion threshold.

Apple's market capitalisation briefly surpassed $5 trillion for the first time on Tuesday, making it only the second company ever to achieve that milestone after ​Nvidia.

Apple's decision to hold iPhone prices steady last month, when it unveiled increases for MacBooks and ‌iPads ⁠, has also bolstered demand as buyers scooped up the company's flagship device ahead of expected price hikes later this year, analysts have said.
