On October 14, 2026, Apple’s market capitalization closed at $5.01 trillion after a modest gain in the stock. It was the first time Apple had ended a trading day above $5 trillion, making it only the second public company to do so.

Apple had surpassed $5 trillion during intraday trading seven times before. Nvidia first reached the milestone in October 2025.

The milestone came as many other major technology companies ended the day lower. Recent product announcements and confidence in Apple’s long-term strategy under its new leadership appear to have supported investor optimism.
