On Friday (12/01), Microsoft surpassed Apple and reclaimed the title of the world’s highest-valued company 👑🌍. Earlier on Thursday, the company briefly surpassed Apple during intraday trading. Since 2018, Microsoft has intermittently surpassed Apple and become the world’s highest-valued company, with the most recent occurrence in November 2021 📊📈. Microsoft’s stock price rose by over 3% this week, pushing the company’s market value to $2.89 trillion, while Apple’s stock price fell by over 3%, bringing its valuation down to $2.87 trillion.

Apple has been the world’s most valuable publicly traded company for many years 🆙📊. Since the beginning of this year, Wall Street has seen a series of bearish reports due to concerns about iPhone sales prospects. Following Barclays, Piper Sandler, and Redburn Atlantic, investment research firm Hedgeye added Apple to its latest list of short-selling targets 📌📄. The firm estimates that, with sluggish iPhone sales, a lack of innovation, and the competition in the personal computer (PC) market triggered by Microsoft’s artificial intelligence (AI) features, Apple’s revenue growth will remain lackluster until 2025.

Amid negative developments, Apple’s board is undergoing a reorganization. The company announced on Thursday that former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, a board member since 2003, will retire from the board 👨🏻‍💼💼. Meanwhile, the surge in Microsoft’s stock price can be attributed to various factors, including stable corporate spending benefiting its Azure cloud computing business. Azure also benefits from the AI boom. Fueled by the AI craze, Microsoft’s stock price rose by 57% last year, outperforming Apple (which rose by 48%).

During the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Microsoft brought many surprises 🥳🎉, including the launch of AI-powered Windows 11 computers and gaming laptops. Additionally, after successful collaboration with retail giant Walmart, Wall Street has praised Microsoft’s achievements. 👍🏻👍🏻
