Anyone else find it hilarious that the company supposedly behind on AI is worth more than the World's AI chip leader? Apple should make the next Apple Silicon M chips faster than a NVIDIA 5090!

History has shown that market trends don't behave rationally and therefore are not inherently predictable. I think it's anyone's guess why AAPL dropped to $275 per share less than two weeks ago and was up to $334 this week. The analysts simply come up with after-the-fact "explanations" as to what has already transpired.
As an investor, the best approach in regard to AAPL stock is a buy and hold strategy. Over the long run AAPL stock is likely to continue appreciating very well despite its frequent dips and peaks in short term value. My personal advice is to replace your Apple devices only as often as you really need to and instead use the cash to buy a bit of AAPL stock whenever you can. I'm so much better off financially after following this strategy for the past 14 years.
The media absolutely luvs this market cap king of the hill stuff
Taking a big swing at Apple every day of the year for 10-20 years must feel good and very empowering to many here.

Imagine if someone told you 25 years ago that this would be an actual news headline in 2026. You'd have thought they were absolutely insane!

Lucky boy. I owned some AAPL back then too, but sadly (for me) sold at some point amongst all the ups and downs. At the time I was probably patting myself on the back for making a 50% profit or whatever on them.
Oil companies don't trade at 30-32. That's likely bc CVX had some kind of charge. Its forward P/E is a more reasonable 12.
So no, Aramco isn't a $3.3T company in any normal world. People aren't buying oil companies on average at 30X earnings, especially not established ones like CVX.
Will be only a matter of time before it becomes number one again. Good for all share holders.

Wow, only $5 trillion? Clearly they need to raise prices.
The lifts come and go. Nobody's going to get a bonus in a corporation just because it's "#1" today in an ever-dynamic market.
Maybe you can make a Kalshi bet on it or something, but that's more evidence of deeper problems.

I was expecting it to hit $10T several years ago (around 2022). It's been a disappointment.
BTW, price to sales is now up to 11 from 10 when it was a $4T company.

Apple Set to Become First $4 Trillion Company
I was predicting Apple to have hit $10T by now. This is obviously a disappointment. However, meantime, I'd like to share this: If only the price to sales were to bump up to 25, Apple could be $10T company right now!

I never bought into the “Apple is behind in AI” noise. There’s been this sense that Apple needs to lead in everything, do everything for themselves, and vertically integrate the entire user experience. AI in the way people usually mean, by and large, is an app. Apple does a ton of AI under the hood, but that’s not what people mean. There is a ton of work and money going into improving AI, and Apple reaps all those benefits if they treat it as a buy rather than build decision.
Apple is doing well because they’re consistent and well managed. They’re doing well right now precisely because there’s so little drama.

How about “AMD nearly twice the size of Intel”?

Apple’s stock price dropping doesn’t impact us either, yet there’s no end of people cheering it.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Makes no difference to most of us unless we have shares in these companies. I don't, so I don't really care.

The more money Apple makes, the more they can invest building incredible products of the future. Everyone in the ecosystem benefits when Apple is successful.
The markets are starting to get the collywobbles about whether all that mad AI investment is actually going to show a ROI.
NVIDIA have gone all-in on making hardware for AI service providers. If the AI bubble does burst, they're toast.
Apple have largely stuck to making iPhones - devices that consumers will need to access AI services, but that consumers will still want for other reasons, should the AI bubble start to sag. They've kept the AI bubble at arm's length by licensing AI software/services from third parties.

Too bad Apple legitimately doesn’t come up with anything new anymore.
