Apple surpassed NVIDIA in market valuation, reclaiming the title of the world’s most valuable company with a $4.88 trillion cap.
Apple reclaimed its position as the world’s most valuable company on July 17, 2026, with a market capitalization of $4.88 trillion, slightly ahead of NVIDIA’s $4.85 trillion. The shift follows a 59% surge in Apple’s stock over the past year, narrowing the gap between the two tech giants.
Apple last held the top spot in April 2025, before NVIDIA briefly overtook it. The margin remains tight, leaving room for volatility in a single trading session. NVIDIA had dominated the ranking for much of the past year, driven by AI-driven demand.
