Apple Becomes the First $700 Billion Company in the U.S.

Posted February 10, 2015 at 9:50pm by iClarified
Apple has just become the first $700 billion company in the U.S. The company's shares closed up at $122.02 today, giving it a market cap of $ 710.736B, according to Yahoo Finance.

It had crossed $700 billion during intraday trading in the past but never managed close above that level until today.

Apple CEO Tim Cook was congratulated on the achievement during a live audio stream from the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference.


The company's stock has soared since it announced Q4 2014 earnings. It posted record quarterly revenue of $74.6 billion and record quarterly net profit of $18 billion, or $3.06 per diluted share.

Take a look at the chart below for more details....

Congrats Apple! I remember when they took on Goliath Microsoft. Started from a couple guys in a garage in America. In mid 1990's almost bankrupt & now #1. It's an American rags to riches, brink to comeback success story. I've been using Apple products since 2007 myself - still loving my Macmini & iphone 5S. (I started with Amiga ) ---

OK..now kindly please use that 33% profit for improving the iOS (platform of Apple Devices); well at least make it productively stable ..."Pay it forward", to us consumers, with less greed please..AND that will really define Apple standard..Hoping to make our world better and humans, just a little more happier, at least.

Do people not realise its via market cap? They don't have $700b in their accounts... rather the amount in stock on rotation times the value of the share...

I hope this would be a reason for apple to lower the price of their next iproducts.

Funny how a tech company could be worth over 700 billion and its CEO is still not allowed to warn people that LEGITIMATE emergency evacuation orders for large, confined crowds (stadiums, ballparks, etc.) do NOT come from their personal cell phones. All the money in the world can't buy situational awareness. agsaf.org

It's funny how everybody these days wants a free handout. If you want a part of that 700 billion you buy their stock. Simple as that.

Keep hurting yourself with confusion. Ios 9 is said to have a huge focus on stability than ever.
