Apple Market Capitalization Surpasses $5 Trillion

Despite the valuation peak, analysts suggest the company requires growth in smartphones and smart home technology to sustain its stock price.

Why it matters
Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, Apple transitioned from a computer company to a broader electronics firm in 2007.
