Apple Briefly Hits $5 Trillion Market Cap
Apple's stock price went up a lot, making the company worth over $5 trillion for a short time.
This makes Apple the second company ever to reach that value, after Nvidia.
Apple's stock has been doing well this year, going up by 25%.
The company has been doing better than other big tech companies because it hasn't spent as much money on AI like some of its competitors.

Apple's stock rose nearly 2% to a 52-week high of $342.89, driving its market cap to $5.036 trillion.
Apple ended the session with a 0.94% gain, closing at $340.08, with a market cap of around $4.99 trillion.
Apple overtook Nvidia to become the world's largest publicly traded company earlier this month.
