Apple hits $5 trillion; reason is Wall Street is unhappy with Google, Microsoft & others

Apple’s market value briefly exceeded five trillion dollars on Tuesday. This milestone was achieved after the company regained its position as the world’s most valuable public company. Unlike rivals, Apple rents AI infrastructure, preserving its strong cash flow. This strategy contrasts with competitors facing increased debt and negative free cash flow. Apple’s stock has seen significant gains this year, outperforming Nvidia.
