Under the leadership of Tim Cook, it appears that Apple is moving somewhere else entirely, away from the rest of the tech giants, and this time, it is on the cusp of a huge achievement as the market value of the American company is close to exceeding the barrier of 3 trillion dollars.


Apple's market value

Apple shares are up about 1% in pre-market trading on Monday and the share price is around $181.75, and the stock needs to hit $182.85 so that Apple can cross the $3 trillion market capitalization.

Apple has exceeded the market value For the first time, the $1 trillion mark In August of 2018, and then two years later, in August 2020, Apple managed to become a powerful $2 trillion company.

The company's sales jumped nearly 30%, or more than $83 billion, in the fourth quarter that ended in September, and Apple currently has cash in cash of $191 billion.


The trillions club

If Apple were a country, it would be the fifth largest economy after Germany, as it surpassed the economies of countries such as Britain, France, Italy and others. In the technology industry, Microsoft can only try to compete with Apple in terms of market value, which amounts to 2.5 trillion dollars. Other famous companies such as Alphabet The mother of Google has a market value of about $ 2 trillion, Amazon is still a giant technology company, but its market value is $ 1.7 trillion, and for the electric car company Tesla, owned by Elon Musk, the richest man in the world today, its value reaches a trillion dollars.
