$Apple(AAPL.US) just closed above a $5 trillion market cap for the first time, per WSJ

The stock finished at $342.96, up 0.50% on the day, putting the company at about $5.01 trillion

WSJ called it the seventh trip to the $5 trillion line. The prior six crossed during the session but failed to hold into the close

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US) remains the only larger company, near $5.4 trillion. $Apple(AAPL.US) is now the second firm ever to finish a session above $5 trillion

The close landed on a red day for the broader market. The S&P 500 finished down about 1.1% while $Apple(AAPL.US) still printed green

It has been just under a year since $Apple(AAPL.US) first closed above $4 trillion in October 2025, and the stock is up roughly 26% year to date

Same session as the China Apple Intelligence December launch news.

Holding that line into next week is the next test for how sticky this valuation really is
