Apple's Brief Reign as World's Largest Company May End Soon

Apple's recent surge past Nvidia as the world's largest company may not be long-lived.

This shift occurred on July 28, when Apple closed at a $4.95 trillion valuation and Nvidia fell to $4.76 trillion.

However, the market's current optimism about Apple is misplaced, according to some analysts. They argue that Apple has an inflated valuation due to its relatively slow growth rate of 17%.

Nvidia, on the other hand, is seen as dirt cheap compared to Apple, with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 20 times earnings.
