A historic close
Apple closed with a market valuation above $5 trillion on October 14, 2026, becoming only the second company to reach that level. It follows NVIDIA, which first crossed the threshold in October 2025.
What it means
Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying a company's share price by its total number of shares. $5 trillion marks one of the highest valuations ever reached by a publicly traded company.
Two companies, one threshold
NVIDIA hit the level in October 2025. Apple's close signals a new upper bound in market value among tech giants.
