Apple is now the first publicly traded company to close above a $3 trillion market valueApple is the first publicly traded company to close a trading day with a $3 trillion market value. The company’s shares climbed about 2.31% on Friday to a new high. The tech giant first reached a $3 trillion market cap back in January 2022, but failed to close at that level.
Apple’s stock has skyrocketed nearly 46% this year. The company’s stock market success this year is a stark contrast from 2022. Earlier this year, Apple’s market cap fell below $2 trillion in trading for the first time since early 2021.
The milestone valuation for the tech giant comes on the heels of its launch of the Apple Vision Pro, its long-rumored augmented reality (AR) headset, earlier this month. The $3,499 headset, which requires users to stay connected to a battery pack the size of an iPhone, will go on sale next year.
Wall Street and Silicon Valley have been all in on the AI hype that sparked with the debut of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022. Since then, companies like Microsoft, Google, Nvidia and Meta have jumped on the AI bandwagon. Nvidia leads the S&P 500 with a 181% jump this year. Meta follows with a 137% jump. Apple has largely stayed away from mentions of AI, while its competitors have gone all in on the emerging technology.
It’s worth noting that four other U.S. companies have a valuation of more than $1 trillion, including Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Nvidia.
Apple posted stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings in May, even though the tech giant’s sales and profit declined. The company’s results reinforced its reputation among investors.
Update 30/06/2023 4:00 PM ET: Article was updated to note that Apple closed above a $3 trillion market cap.

Wise Music Group Appoints Max Moroldo as Managing Director of Wise Music ItalyWise Music Group has appointed Massimiliano “Max” Moroldo as Managing Director of the recently established company Wise Music Italy, based in Bergamo. Max joined Wise Music Italy in 2022 as Head of A&R and Music Publishing Consultant upon the acquisition of his company, Baby Angel Music, by Wise Music Group.

Through the ownership of Baby Angel Music and Atlas, Wise Music Italy owns shares in international hits such as “I Know You Want Me” (recorded by Pitbull) and “Seek Bromance” (Avicii), as well as Italian hits including Occidentali's “Karma” and “Amen” (by Francesco Gabbani, both winners of the Sanremo Festival), “Come Neve” (Giorgia and Marco Mengoni), “Credo” (Giorgia), “Potremmo Ritornare” (Tiziano Ferro), “Crepe” (Irama), and “Il Coraggio Di Andare” (Laura Pausini and Biagio Antonacci).

Among the catalogue’s many titles is the evergreen “Freed from Desire”, originally recorded by the singer and songwriter Gala in 1996, which became a huge hit all over the world, and which has subsequently been covered and adapted on numerous occasions. 

Max Moroldo comments: “Wise Music Group is definitely one of the strongest independent realities in the worldwide publishing scene and it’s a great honour for me to be appointed Managing Director after only one year working together. In line with the expansion and growth policy of Wise Music, Wise Music Italy has consolidated its position in the international publishing industry with the acquisition of important catalogues. The search for talented songwriters will be our next goal”.  

Wise Music Group CEO Marcus Wise says: “We’re delighted to have a local office in Italy and keen to expand in this important market.  Max is a talented and experienced publisher and is instrumental in helping Wise Music build our Italian business into a significant operation for our Group.”
