Apple Approaches Historic $4 Trillion Market Valua

Apple is approaching an unprecedented achievement with a historic $4 trillion market valuation, making it the first company in the world to reach that number.

This progress is driven by investors' confidence in the company's ability to exploit the potential of artificial intelligence to enhance its growth. This momentum is expected to contribute to a paradigm shift in iPhone sales, which have slowed down in the recent period.

Since early November, Apple's shares recorded a remarkable growth of 16%, adding nearly $500 billion to its market value. This strong growth reflects the great optimism of investors about the future of the company and their expectations of its continued positive performance.

Apple's market capitalization was about $3.85 trillion with the recent closure, exceeding the total value of the major equity markets in Germany and Switzerland combined. This achievement reflects Apple's economic dominance, putting it at the forefront of tech giants like NVIDIA and Microsoft to reach this historic milestone.

Despite criticism of Apple for its slow announcement of a clear artificial intelligence strategy, the company has begun to take concrete steps in this direction. It has embarked on integrating advanced technologies such as OpenAI's ChatGPT into its devices, following its announcement last June of plans to adopt generative artificial intelligence technologies within its applications.

According to LSEG data, the recent rise has helped raise Apple's price-to-earnings ratio to $33.5 trillion, the company's highest level in the past three years. This figure exceeded that of its competitors, with Microsoft reaching 31.3 and 31.7 for NVIDIA.
