Amazon.com surpassed $3 trillion in market value for the first time, becoming only the fifth company to ever reach the milestone.
The e-commerce and cloud-computing company's shares rose as much as 5.3% as of 9.35 am on Monday, adding to the raucous rally last week following second-quarter earnings that showed accelerating cloud-computing revenue. Amazon joins Nvidia, Alphabet, Microsoft and Apple as the only companies that have reached that size.
