Apple surpasses Nvidia as the world's most valuable company - Investors trust the company's Artificial Intelligence strategy
Apple has reclaimed its title as the world's most valuable company, surpassing Nvidia as investors became more confident about its AI strategy. Nvidia shares fell as much as 4% in trading on Friday as concerns about the valuation of AI stocks drove up the market, giving the company a valuation of about $4.8 trillion, slightly below Apple's $4.9 trillion valuation.
The company later recovered its losses, with Apple and Nvidia battling it out for the top spot in the final hour of trading. Nvidia shares have risen more than 1,200% since January 2023, rising from $14.86, the adjusted price after the stock split, to about $205 today. The company completed a 10-for-1 stock split in June 2024.
Nvidia became the world's most valuable company in 2025, driven by the artificial intelligence boom, after the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. Originally designed for video games, Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the main hardware used in artificial intelligence data centers to train large language models developed by companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
However, in recent weeks, analysts have begun to question whether Nvidia's massive investment in chips and software will pay off as new AI products come to market. Those questions have intensified as ChatGPT creator OpenAI and its rival Anthropic, two of the most valuable private companies in history, filed to go public.
Meanwhile, investor confidence in Apple has strengthened in recent weeks, with its shares up about 20% since late June. Apple also introduced a redesigned version of Siri, to largely positive reviews.
