The Dhaka Times Desk US multinational technology company and iPhone maker Apple is on the verge of achieving another major milestone. In terms of market value, the company is currently on the way to exceed 3 trillion or 3 million US dollars!
Apple will be the first company with a market value of 3 trillion dollars listed on the global capital market if the share price increases by only 1 dollar and 10 cents. Then the market value of Apple as a company will increase to 3 trillion dollars.
According to CNN Business, it may take more time for other leading companies in the world to reach the 3 trillion or three trillion dollar club in market value. The reason is that they are still far from this milestone.
Microsoft, the closest company to Apple, has a market value of about 2.6 trillion or 200 million dollars. On the other hand, Alphabet, the owner of Google, has a market value of about 2 trillion or 200 million dollars. Behind it is global e-commerce giant Amazon and electric car maker Tesla. Among them, Jeff Bezos' Amazon, the second richest man in the world, and Elon Musk's Tesla, the number 1 richest person, have a market value of 1.7 trillion (1.7 billion) and Elon Musk's Tesla is 1 trillion (100 million) dollars, respectively.
Meanwhile, Apple shares rose 1 percent to $181.75 on the New York Stock Exchange last week. A new record high of $182 to $85 cents will be set, which is only a matter of time. In August 2018, Apple's market value rose to one trillion or millions of dollars. After one year, in August 2020, the market value of the company exceeded 2 trillion or 200 million dollars.
Note that 1 lakh crore equals 1 trillion. Apple's share price has risen more than 35 percent this year. The company's new iPhone 13 and other older models, along with Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, iCloud, are believed to have a positive impact on the share price due to the increase in demand for App Store-based services.
In the last third quarter of July-September, the sales of Apple's products and services increased by almost 30 percent or 8 thousand 3 billion dollars. Total sales in these 3 months are 19 thousand billion dollars.
Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne Wozniak founded Apple in April 1976 to develop and sell the Apple 1 personal computer (PC). Then in January 1977, they named the company Apple Computer.
