Who will be the first company in the world to hit a 4 trillion dollar valuation? Hey everyone! Today, we’re diving into a race that’s making waves in the finance world.
Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia—these tech giants are battling it out, and the stakes have never been higher.
But who’s leading the charge?
Stick around, and we’ll explore the top contenders, what’s driving their growth, and predictions from industry experts.
Let’s start with the frontrunner—Apple.
According to several analysts, led by Tim Cook,
Apple is poised to become the first company to reach the 4 trillion dollar mark, possibly by the end of 2024.
What’s fuelling this incredible growth? It’s a combination of the strong demand for iPhones and the company’s rapidly expanding services sector.
Services like Apple Music, iCloud, and the App Store alone could be worth around 1.6 trillion dollars soon.
And remember, Apple’s stock surged to 3 trillion dollar market cap in 2023, making it the first publicly traded company to reach the milestone.
The Cupertino based tech giant is currently valued at over 3.5 trillion.
With 220 to 230 million iPhone units expected to sell in 2024, and over 25 percent of their 1.2 billion user base still waiting for an upgrade, the company’s position looks solid.
But, it’s not just about phones. Apple’s AI and services integration—especially with their AI App Store launch—could be game-changers.
Now to the next key player in the race – Nvidia.
The chipmaker has seen a meteoric rise, recently surpassing 3 trillion dollars mark, driven by the booming AI market.
Analysts have credited Nvidia’s success to its dominance in AI hardware, particularly GPUs that power everything from autonomous vehicles to generative AI.
In fact, some forecasts suggest that Nvidia, led by its legendary CEO Jensen Huang, might be the first to cross the 4 trillion dollar line due to its AI momentum.
Its market cap has surged from just 364 billion in 2022 to over 3.4 trillion in 2024.
However, Nvidia’s growth trajectory depends on how much further AI technologies like ‘AI factories’ can scale.
Another company that you can’t count out of this race is Microsoft.
With a current market cap hovering around 3.16 trillion dollars, Microsoft is a strong contender.
Under the leadership of its Indian-origin CEO Satya Nadella,
the company's investments in AI and cloud services through Azure are keeping it competitive.
While it may not be the first to hit 4 trillion dollar, projections show that Microsoft could reach this milestone by 2026.
Microsoft's consistent growth is driven by enterprise services, with Azure cloud computing, AI integration, and even LinkedIn contributing to its expanding revenue streams.
So, who’s going to win this race to $4 trillion?
Many experts believe it’s Apple, thanks to its massive consumer base, innovative AI ventures, and strong iPhone sales.
But Nvidia’s AI revolution could surprise us all if the market continues to favour AI advancements.
And then there’s Microsoft—slow and steady, but certainly not out of the game.
