Apple Reaches $200 Billion in Market Capitalization

Tuesday March 9, 2010 7:42 am PST by Eric Slivka
Fueled by Friday's announcement of a shipping date for the iPad, Apple's stock price has jumped over 6% in recent trading, pushing the company beyond $200 billion in market value for the first time in its history. AAPL currently sits at over $223 per share.


Apple currently holds the fifth-largest market capitalization among U.S. public companies, behind Exxon Mobil, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, and Berkshire Hathaway.

Fourth. Berkshire is currently at $192B.

AAPL is also the 17th largest company by market capitalization in the world.


Odd. Most financial sites have BRK.A at $204 billion.

No matter. It appears that Apple will continue to grow over this year and should end up in the third highest market cap position within a month or so. Depending on iPad success and sales, Apple could really start to make serious headway towards Microsoft. :D

The source I had that listed Berkshire at $192B was apparently only counting A shares. That's why I removed it.

(BTW, my meager holding cost me $4.97 a share. I wish I'd bought more...)

Whole different ballgame these days. What Apple has achieved is pretty mind-boggling. The iPad will take the stock into the $300 neighbourhood.

Yes, their stock price is, but market capitalization is not the same thing. I'm not sure if you were implying it, but they have not just soared into the number 3 spot.
