AustriaApple has surpassed Nvidia to become the world's most valuable publicly traded company, with a market capitalization of approximately $4.9 trillion compared to Nvidia's $4.8 trillion. This shift occurred amid broader selling pressure in the AI and semiconductor sectors, where investors took profits after a strong rally. Apple received support from a positive analyst rating by HSBC, which upgraded its stock to 'Buy,' citing new AI features, an updated Siri, and the expansion of 'Apple Intelligence.' Speculation also surrounds potential new products like a foldable iPhone. Meanwhile, Nvidia continues to perform strongly, with quarterly revenue rising over 85% to $81.6 billion, driven largely by demand for data center chips from major cloud providers investing in AI infrastructure. The recent decline in Nvidia's stock price is linked more to a reassessment of the AI sector than to the company's performance. Additional concerns arose from a new AI model launched by Chinese startup Moonshot AI, which could further intensify competition in the AI market.
