Apple Just Became First Trillion-Dollar Company from the US

by Oghenero Okikie August 3, 2018 2 min read

After a record financial quarter—and expectations of new iPhones in the fall—investors briefly pushed Apple’s market capitalisation over $1 trillion on Thursday, August 2nd, 2018.

Apple recorded $53.3 billion in income for the last quarter and made $11.5 billion in benefit—a 32% expansion in benefit over a similar quarter a year ago. This was amid the quarter that is viewed as “moderate,” as it falls before the season when Apple ordinarily discharges a slate of new items.

Though an American organisation had never been esteemed at $1 trillion, Apple isn’t the first on the planet to cross this development as Chinese oil organisation PetroChina hit $1 trillion in showcase top in 2007. (It has since slammed and lost 80% of its valuation.) Privately held Aramco, the Saudi oil monster, esteemed at $2 trillion by investors, isn’t yet made public.

Another way to attempt to show how massive an amount the number one trillion represents, consider that the average apple picker in the US picks about 15,500 lbs of apples per day. To pick 1 trillion pounds, it would take about 176,756 years.

Do you think Apple would stay on this level for long or they would crash like their Chinese counterpart?
