NVIDIA dethrones APPLE as world’s most valuable company… Stock Market Enters the Danger Zone?

Sharing is Caring!

Nvidia briefly eclipsed Apple to become the world’s most valuable company on Friday.

It’s the first time Nvidia has been the world’s largest company since mid-June.

Nvidia stock jumped as much as 3% on Friday to an intra-day high of $144.13, catapulting its market valuation to $3.53 trillion. In contrast, Apple traded up less than 1%, giving it a market valuation of $3.52 trillion.
Nvidia stock has since pared its gains to about 1% and is trading neck-and-neck with Apple’s valuation, at $3.52 trillion compared to Apple’s $3.53 trillion at 1:24 p.m., according to data from YCharts.

Investors were disappointed by a mixed week for the stock market. They could look back longingly on it if everything goes wrong over the next couple of weeks.

The S&P 500 index has dropped 0.4% this past week, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has dipped 2.3%, ending a six-week winning streak for both. The Nasdaq Composite, however, has risen 0.9%, extending its winning streak to seven weeks.

Economically sensitive stocks took the worst hit. Retail, banking, and industrial stocks all fell between 2% and 3%, and it appeared that investors were simply taking profits after the S&P 500 entered this past week up 23% in 2024.

“You don’t need much of an excuse to move the market down,” says Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Wealth.
