Apple Becomes World's Most Valuable Company, Surpassing Nvidia Amid Tech Selloff

Multiple financial news outlets report that Apple has surpassed Nvidia to become the world's most valuable company by market capitalization. This shift occurred amidst a broader downturn in technology and chip stocks, with some outlets specifically mentioning "AI return doubts" and a general "tech selloff." FourWeekMBA reported Apple's market cap at $5.03 trillion at the time of the change. While most outlets imply a recent or current event, TradingKey uniquely frames this as occurring in "October 2026," suggesting either a future projection or a specific reporting context. The consensus attributes the change partly to a general tech selloff and doubts regarding AI returns impacting chip manufacturers.
