New Delhi: Apple Inc, on Monday, became the first company in the world to hit a $3 trillion market valuation. On the first trading day of 2022, the shares of the tech giant hit a record high of $182.88, paving the way for the company to reach a milestone that no other company has yet achieved. According to a report by Reuters, investors believe that the company will keep launching top-quality products and explore new markets like virtual reality.
Apple Tripled Its Value In Four Years The achievement is significantly important because the company hit the $1 trillion mark barely four years ago, in 2018. Within less than 4 years, the company has tripled its market value. According to a report by CBS News, the company hit the $2 trillion mark in August 2020. The growth has been credited to Tim Cook’s vision for the company. He believed, according to the report, that the company should reduce its dependence on hardware and focus more on services. Interestingly today, the services of Apple are worth exactly half of the company’s total value, at $1.5 trillion. Economically Bigger Than Most Countries To set things into perspective, if Apple’s market value is compared with the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the countries of the world, it will still rank 5th. According to the data on investopedia.com, Apple’s market value is behind the GDP of only four countries, the USA, China, Japan and Germany. India’s GDP is $2.66 trillion and UK’s GDP is $2.76 trillion, the data showed. Similar Threads:
