Apple 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.

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.

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!

Even if they were.

2025 Saudi Aramco earnings were $105 billion.

The best P/E an oil company has is Chevron, at 30-32.

At $3.36 trillion market cap, Saudi Aramco would be above Microsoft and Amazon, but bellow Apple, Nvidia and Alphabet (Google)

This contest is based entirely on market cap. Given that only a tiny fraction of the shares in Saudi Aramco are traded publicly, calculations of their market cap are all over the map. But most sources report it to be around $1.7T.

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.

It would be nice but who really knows. Plus those that do will likely keep it to themselves. All we know is demand outstripped supply and it appears to show people could be confident in apples future.

Sorry that was zero help!
 
Remember when people used to be excited about NVidia because they cared about making great GPUs for gaming? Good times. All those massive data centers, and they still can't get A.I. to answer questions reliably or to stop doing weird things.

I don't like that Apple raised prices, but at least Apple is still providing good products and services.
 
Translated to super good bonus for the staff?. Yeaaah, suuuure…
Translated into free screen replacement for the 1st year?. Or into battery replacement after 3 years?.
