Apple was the first company to close a trading session with a market capitalization above $3 trillion.
Apple achieved the closing milestone on 30 June 2023, when its shares finished the session at a price that valued the company above $3 trillion. This differs from merely passing a valuation during intraday trading, because a closing record uses the official final share price of the session.
The company’s market value grew alongside its installed base of iPhones, expansion of services revenue, and continuing investor interest in its ability to sell premium consumer technology. The $3 trillion threshold was especially notable because only a small number of companies had previously approached $2 trillion.
Apple first touched $3 trillion during intraday trading in January 2022, but its shares did not finish that session above the threshold. This distinction explains why reports identify separate intraday and closing records.
