Apple (AAPL) has done it again. The iPhone maker briefly crossed a staggering $5 trillion market capitalization this week, becoming the second only publicly traded company after Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) to reach that milestone.
The journey has been remarkably fast. Apple crossed the $3 trillion mark in early 2022, topped $4 trillion in late 2025, and has now reached $5 trillion in less than a year. Very few companies have ever added $1 trillion in market value that quickly.
