Apple closes trading valued at US$5 trillion for the first time

Quick Look

Apple shares closed the trading session with a market value of US$5 trillion, making the company the second most valuable in the world and the second to reach this level at closing, after Nvidia reached the same value in October 2025.
The appreciation is due to the high demand for the iPhone, Mac mini and iMac, now available by subscription in the US.

The company had already reached this value during the trading session on July 28, when it briefly became the most valuable brand in the world.

On that occasion, shares fell before closing and caused the company's market value to return to a level below US$5 trillion.

With the value reached this Wednesday, Apple isolated itself as the second most valuable company in the world and the second to have reached this market value at the close of trading.

The first was the semiconductor manufacturer Nvidia, which reached this mark in October 2025 and is now on track to be valued at US$6 trillion (R$30 trillion).

Apple shares have appreciated amid high demand for products such as the iPhone and Mac mini and iMac computers, which have become available in the United States through subscription programs.

What to Watch
