Reaching a $1 Trillion Valuation
One of the biggest milestones Apple reached this decade was becoming the world’s largest publicly-traded company. While the Cupertino tech giant was recently surpassed by Saudi Arabia’s oil company, Aramco, it held its place as the top dog of the market for at least a couple of years.
And back in August 2018, it hit another related milestone. AAPL shares reached an all-time high of $206.58 around 1:30 p.m. on Aug 2. With the number of outstanding shares, that meant that Apple’s market valuation reached $1 trillion. Notably, it became the very first company actually to hit that mile marker.
