Apple Overtakes Microsoft 

With a market capitalization of $3.25 trillion, Apple overtook Microsoft, which stands at $3.24 trillion, as the world’s largest company by market cap. Microsoft is ahead of NVIDIA, which has a market value of $3.06 trillion.

Recall Silicon Africa reported that Nvidia’s brand value nearly tripled to over $200 billion from the previous year, ranking it as the sixth most valuable brand. 

Kantar ascribes Nvidia’s rise to the strong investor confidence in the company’s climactic role in significant tech innovations such as generative AI, autonomous mobility, and spatial computing.
