Michal Ždanský Today, Apple shares reached another interesting milestone - the value of the company jumped over 620 billion US dollars, thereby surpassing Apple's old record set by Microsoft in 1999, when the Redmond company reached an all-time high of 618,9 billion dollars.
The iPhone manufacturer thus continues to safely hold the first position on the US NASDAQ stock exchange with a 200 billion lead over the oil company Exxon Mobil in second place. The difference between Apple and Microsoft is almost 400 billion. That's not bad for a company that was once 90 days away from bankruptcy.
I think they say, lightly gained, lightly lost…
It is a power…. It's like it was yesterday when Apple shares were at 395 USD and I recommended a big investment to a friend :D unfortunately he didn't listen to me... Today he could sell them with a very luxurious profit... However, it's a real gem... historically, Apple has already gotten so high that it surpassed all companies and became the most valuable company in the world (if I'm not mistaken). I believe that Apple is the only company that will one day reach a value of over 1000 billion dollars.
She won't be the only one. In history, it was already done by IBM in 1967 with 1.3 trillion dollars. That is, only if inflation is taken into account. Otherwise, it would be $192.3 billion.
The value of the dollar is also different than it used to be.
