Apple nears $4t valuation as AI boosts stock rise

Apple Inc. is approaching a historic US$4 trillion stock market valuation, propelled by a significant increase in its share price due to investor optimism surrounding developments in AI.

The company’s stock has risen approximately 16% since November, adding about US$500 billion to its market capitalization and valuing Apple at around US$3.85 trillion.

Despite a current slowdown in iPhone demand, Apple expects a recovery by 2025, aided by expanded AI features and geographic reach.
