Apple Becomes First 3 Trillion USD Company

Apple touches the milestone of becoming the first $3 trillion company amid the beliefs of investors that consumers will continue buying and liking its MacBooks, iPhones, Apple Music, Apple TV and other products. The journey from $2 trillion is achieved in less than two years.

With the increased demand for digital services and personal electronics during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the iDevice giant passed the $2 trillion mark. It reached the $1 trillion mark in 2018.

The current net worth of Microsoft is about $2.5 trillion while that of Amazon, Tesla and Alphabet are more than $1 trillion. Apple is not the most valuable company in the world and the first to reach the mark of $3 trillion.

Longbow Asset Management CEO Jake Dollarhide said the achievement is a fantastic accomplishment of the company and it should be celebrated grandly as it shows the dominancy of Apple in the market.

Wells Fargo Investment Institute market strategist Scott Wren said the strong fundamentals of Apple are being rewarded and such companies prove strong businesses instead of speculation.

The cash-rich company has rapidly embraced changes and trends including virtual reality, artificial intelligence and of course 5G and such attitudes helped its stocks to become the favorite for investors. The latest iPhone is the second wave of 5G technology-enabled smartphones of the company.
