Apple's market valuation climbed to $5 trillion, placing the firm ahead of Nvidia in worldwide market capitalisation. This shift marks the first time Apple has reclaimed the top spot since a short-lived lead in late July.
A return to the lead
Shares of Apple have risen 27% so far in 2026. The new valuation puts the company back in front of Nvidia after the earlier, brief change in their rankings.
What the valuation measures
Market capitalisation reflects the total worth of a company's outstanding shares. The $5 trillion figure for Apple refers to this stock-market metric.
