Vratislav Holub If you are an Apple fan, then at the beginning of the year you certainly did not miss the information that the value of the Cupertino giant exceeded the record mark of 3 trillion dollars. This was a relatively important milestone, as the company thus became the first company in the world with this value. Recently, however, we can see interesting fluctuations. Apple has lost the mentioned value and for now it does not look like it should climb back to the same position in the near future.

Flying around the world with Apple Of course, at the same time, it is necessary to mention that already at the beginning of the year, when the aforementioned crossing of the border took place, the value practically immediately fell to the level of 2,995 to 2,998 trillion dollars. However, if we look at the value of the company at this point, or the so-called market capitalization, we find that it is "only" $2,69 trillion.
The value fluctuates even without any missteps
It is interesting to see how Apple's market capitalization as a publicly traded company is constantly changing. Of course, as the main reason for the mentioned drop, you may think of whether there was an unsuccessful product release or other missteps. Since then, however, no news with the bitten apple logo has yet arrived, so we can completely rule out this potential influence. But how does it actually work? The mentioned market capitalization is the total market value of all issued shares of the given company. We can calculate it as the value of the share multiplied by the number of all shares in circulation.

The market is, of course, constantly changing and reacting to various factors that can affect the value of a company's share, which will then affect the overall market capitalization. This is precisely why it is not possible to take into account, for example, only the mentioned unsuccessful product and similar missteps. On the contrary, it is necessary to look at it from a slightly wider angle and take into account, for example, overall global problems. Specifically, the situation regarding the supply chain, the coronavirus pandemic and the like can be reflected here. These reasons are subsequently reflected in fluctuations in the value of the share and thus also in the total market capitalization of the given company.

The value of the shares not only of Apple has long since not corresponded to the real performance of the company, but unfortunately to an increasingly overheated market, which has nowhere else to drown those terrible clouds of extremely cheap currencies of all kinds, and so stuffs them up and down, above all, into what seems to be stable and/or (at least somewhat relatively) future (see e.g. Tesla).
It is self-evident that nothing has ever grown in value anywhere, is not growing and will not grow to the sky, and as usual, sooner or later a harsh panic correction will eventually come. God forbid that it is not too soon, although any - much less accurate - forecasts are more and more divination than science in an exponentially more turbulent multipolar world of rapid growth, not only inflation... :(
