Apple Passed Nvidia to Become World's Most Valuable Company Again

Stocks App Icon and Apple Logo FeatureApple momentarily became the world's most valuable publicly traded company again today after its market valuation surpassed that of Nvidia, according to CNBC. However, the two companies have since traded places during today's session.

The price of Apple's stock has increased by around 20% since it closed at $275.15 on June 25, pushing the company's valuation to nearly $5 trillion. AAPL is now trading above the $332 mark on the intraday market.

Saudi Aramco technically remains the world's most valuable company, but it is often overlooked in this context because it is largely state-controlled.

Apple Closes Unlocked iPhone Loophole for T-Mobile and Verizon Financing

Wednesday July 15, 2026 3:20 pm PDT by
Carrier-financed iPhones purchased from Apple will soon be locked to the carrier, ending a workaround customers used to purchase an unlocked iPhone on a payment plan. Until the rule change, buying an iPhone from Apple and opting for financing through Verizon or T-Mobile meant you would get an iPhone not locked to either carrier's network. That's no longer the case, and now iPhones financed...

The price increases clearly are doing their work. The shareholders salute you, Tim!

I can see why…. Foldable iPhone and touchscreen MacBooks on the way…. New hardware CEO. Things are looking pretty fine.
...and not locked into a capex spending spiral like many of their (stock market) competitors. Financially, this company is a beast.

Saudi Aramco is not listed as the world's most valuable public company for two reasons: Number one, because it isn't. The company's current market cap is under $2T. Number two, shares in the company can traded only on the Saudi stock market, and only 1.5% of its shares are publicly traded. It is barely a public company at all.

Well, I am a stock trader/investor and I spend some time here, so I guess it's a matter of both. Still, an article talking about apple stock would help if they gave a reason or something.
Frankly, I would just as soon they don't try to explain market moves, as these explanations tend to be based on the cliche formula "hope of this" or "fear of that." In the end a stock's value is going to be based on earnings, current and expected. But explaining how the markets price a stock on any given day, week, or month is pretty much a fool's errand. Not that it stops a lot of people from going on them!

It would be nice if this article actually explained why Apple has increased so much? As an Apple Stock owner, it's been my best performing stock and it was up every day this week, including today when the rest of the market had a pullback.
