Apple has reclaimed its position as the world’s most valuable company, overtaking chipmaker Nvidia. As of the latest market data, Apple’s market capitalization sits at approximately 4,9 bilionu dolarů, while Nvidia has retreated to the 4,8 bilionu dolarů range. This shift marks the first time since April of last year that the iPhone maker has led the global market rankings.
Market Shifts: Apple Overtakes Nvidia
While Nvidia’s share price slipped by roughly four percent, Apple’s stock remained relatively stable following the market open. Nvidia, which became the first company to surpass a pět bilionů dolarů valuation last October, has been the primary beneficiary of the global surge in AI infrastructure demand.
According to Toni Meadows, an analyst at BRI Wealth Management, the market’s perception of Apple is evolving. “Apple was considered an enterprise that lagged in the field of AI because it did not invest in the development of AI models. Now, however, the mood on the market is changing,” Meadows stated.

- Diversification: Tech valuations are currently sensitive to AI-related news; look for companies with strong core businesses that provide stability during industry-wide price corrections.
