Apple has reclaimed its position as the world’s most valuable company, overtaking Nvidia after more than a year. According to the latest figures, Apple’s market capitalization reached 4.88 trillion dollars, while Nvidia’s fell to 4.86 trillion dollars following a 3.5 percent drop in its share price. The shift comes as investor interest in the artificial intelligence sector changes direction, affecting market dynamics.

Apple recently introduced a new version of its AI-powered digital assistant Siri, which can better understand user context, access real-time online information, and perform more complex tasks. Michael Monaghan, founder of investment firm Founder ETFs, noted that investors are now focusing more on companies that can translate AI technology into practical services and commercial benefits rather than solely on AI model developers and chipmakers.

Analysts believe Apple’s vast user data could become a key competitive advantage in the AI race. The company is set to release its third-quarter financial results on July 30, forecasting 14 to 17 percent sales growth, while CEO Tim Cook is expected to hand over leadership to hardware chief John Ternus in September.
