Apple overtakes Nvidia as world's most valuable company on AI-driven stock surge
Apple has overtaken Nvidia to become the world's most valuable company. On Friday, Apple's market capitalization reached approximately $4.9 trillion, while Nvidia's market cap was around $4.8 trillion.
The shift comes as investors reassess the AI trade, with Apple's recent advancements in AI, particularly with its Siri software, boosting investor confidence. Apple's stock has seen significant gains in recent weeks, driven by the positive reception of its new AI-powered Siri software, which is set to be introduced in the fall.
Nvidia, which has been the world's most valuable company for nearly a year, saw its stock drop by more than 4% at the start of trading in the U.S. on Friday. This decline was attributed to concerns about the valuation of semiconductor and other tech companies.
"Die Messlatte liegt zu hoch, sodass es nur nach unten gehen kann," said Sam Stovall of CFRA Research.
Apple's new Siri software, which incorporates artificial intelligence, has impressed early testers. However, the software will not be available in the European Union initially due to data privacy concerns related to the EU's requirement to open operating systems to other AI providers.
Nvidia's dominance in the market has been driven by the high demand for its chips used in artificial intelligence applications. However, recent developments, including the emergence of new Chinese AI models and uncertainties around Nvidia's business in China, have contributed to the company's stock decline.
In early U.S. trading, Nvidia's stock fell by nearly 4%, bringing its market value to around $4.84 trillion, while Apple's market value was around $4.9 trillion. Later in the day, Nvidia's stock recovered slightly, but Apple briefly held the top spot.

Nvidia's stock decline was also influenced by uncertainties around its business in China. The U.S. government has allowed the sale of some Nvidia chips to China, but with a 25% tariff. It remains unclear whether the Chinese government will allow local companies to purchase these chips.

Google вслед за Apple удалила из своего магазина все приложения VK (в том числе мессенджер «Макс»). Российская компания от этого не сильно пострадает. Но есть способы навредить ей еще сильнее Из Google Play удалили все приложения, принадлежащие компаниям холдинга VK. Месяцем ранее так же поступила Apple — она убрала все приложения VK из App Store. Компания Google пока никак не прокомментировала свое решение. Но, судя по всему, оно связано с санкциями Евросоюза против российской компании, которые ввели в начале недели. После удаления приложений из Google Play акции VK на Московской бирже стали падать. А сама компания начала принимать экстренные меры, чтобы хоть как-то обезопасить свои приложения от других возможных ограничений. «Медуза» рассказывает, что делает VK для спасения своей экосистемы и как еще международные санкции могут отразиться на будущем компании.
