Apple recently became the first company in the world to hit a market cap of $3 trillion. The company’s market value since then has come down to $2.824 trillion, a figure that is still higher than the GDP of the UK and India. While Apple is still the world’s most valuable company, only a few other companies share the honour of having a market cap of over $1 trillion -- Microsoft, Saudi Aramco, Alphabet, Amazon and Tesla. Facebook-owner Meta Platform’s current market cap is $922.96, but did go over $1 trillion in October 2021.
