Apple Becomes World’s Largest Public Listed Company

Pat Stevens/

Apple, the leading global brand in technology, has overtaken Saudi Aramco (Saudi’s state-owned oil company) to become the world’s most valuable publicly listed company.

Apple recorded this feat when its shares gained over 10 percent to a record high at the end of the trading session for the week, after reporting impressive quarterly results.

Apple’s stock ended the trading session at $425.04, putting its market valuation at $1.82 trillion, according to the share count the company provided yesterday.

Saudi Aramco, which had been the most valuable listed company since going public in 2019, now has a market capitalisation of $1.760 trillion as of the end of the last trading session.

Apple’s fiscal third-quarter revenue stood at $59.7 billion, a record for the June period, the company disclosed in a statement. That was up 11 percent from a year earlier and beat analysts’ estimates of $52.3 billion.

The feat recorded by Apple yesterday was its largest one-day percentage gain since March 13.

Apple added $172 billion in market value during yesterday’s trading session.
