CUPERTINO, California: For the past few months, Apple has flirted with the possibility of becoming the first company ever to reach the once-thought-impossible US$1tril (RM3.94tril) market capitalisation.
Now, after stronger-than-expected earnings announced on Tuesday and Warren Buffett doubling down his confidence with a major stock purchase, the Cupertino tech giant is an arm's length distance from the ultimate stock market summit. Apple's share price on May 4 reached its all-time high of US$183.83 (RM725.12), and with about 5.07 billion shares on the market, the company's market cap currently sits at about US$931bil (RM3.67tril).
