Cupertino, California: Apple Inc. has made history by becoming the world’s first company to reach a $4 trillion market capitalisation, marking another major milestone for the tech giant.
The company’s stock surged after strong investor confidence in its upcoming AI-powered devices and growing services business. Apple’s shares closed at a record high, pushing its total valuation past the $4 trillion mark — a level no other publicly traded company has ever achieved.
Key Drivers Behind Apple’s Rise
Apple’s recent push into artificial intelligence and continued dominance in hardware sales have fueled this growth. The company’s iPhone, Mac, and Services segment (which includes Apple Music, iCloud, and App Store) continues to deliver consistent revenue.
CEO Tim Cook credited Apple’s innovation strategy and loyal customer base for the achievement. “Our mission has always been to create products that enrich people’s lives. This milestone reflects the trust and love our customers have for Apple,” Cook said.
Market Context
Apple’s milestone follows steady growth in its AI investments and product ecosystem. Analysts believe Apple’s upcoming AI-powered features for iPhones and Macs could further boost its valuation.
Meanwhile, competitors like Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), and Amazon continue to close in, but Apple remains the most valuable company in the world.
