Apple Breaks $3 Trillion Market Cap, Sets New Record High: Can The iPhone Maker's Stock Keep Climbing?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Apple Inc. has become the first US company to reach a $3 trillion market cap, with its stock rising 1.3% to a new all-time high of $192. This has resulted in a $500 billion lead over its closest competitor, Microsoft Corp. Apple's stock has gained about 53% this year, marking its best-performing semester since January 2009. However, Apple's current forward P/E ratio of 30, significantly higher than its 10-year historical average of 18x, might trigger worries about the stock's current overvaluation.
