Apple Reaches $5tn Valuation Amid Broader Technology Sector Sell-Off

Apple has become only the second company in history to surpass a $5tn market valuation, benefiting as investors rotated out of artificial intelligence and semiconductor stocks during a broader technology sector sell-off.

The company's share price reached a session high of $342.89 on Tuesday, pushing its market capitalization to $5.04tn (£3.78tn). The stock later eased back to $340.08, hovering around the $5tn milestone.

The rally was driven by robust product demand alongside the company's strategic decision to avoid heavy participation in the ongoing artificial intelligence spending race, insulating it from the broader tech correction.
