Analysts attending the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit in New York have suggested that Apple could eventually be valued at a trillion dollars.
Gains in shares of Apple Inc could take the world’s largest publicly traded company to a market capitalization of perhaps as high as $1 trillion, some of the country’s biggest investors said on Monday.
AAPL got two-thirds of the way there a few days ago, reaching $663B, since climbing further to $670B, and billionaire investor Carl Icahn suggested last month that the company should already be valued at a trillion dollars …
Back in August, the stock reached triple-digits for the first time since the 7-to-1 stock-split. Apple’s record Q4 earnings saw it out-performing both its own guidance and the most bullish of analyst estimates.
As we recently noted, Apple’s revenue guidelines for this quarter would have the company earning more in three months than it earned in the whole of 2010.

What’s even cooler is my Samsung Galaxy S5, which has features that have recently appeared (half-assed) in the new iphone.
For example, for one-handed use, I can customize how much I want the image to shrink vertically and horizontally. In iphone, the image shrinks only vertically and to a present size. Apparently Apple thinks it knows best. Maybe the iphone 7 will have that feature that I have no.
What are you even doing here?
Samsung is falling.
I know you’re just trolling but Samsung literally just announced a giant rip off of Continuity.
I’ll honestly be surprised if it’s even half as good as Apple’s implementation. Like most of Samsung’s ripoffs, they don’t understand the point of the feature…they just want to copy it so they can say “WE DO THIS TOO!”. For example, their terrible finger print reader, passbook rip off, and soon S-Beacon and S-Continuity (or whatever horrible name they make up).
You better take good care of that S5, your upgrade options may be a little slim next year.

Relax! This article is discussing $AAPL stock rather than the iPhone. Glad you like your S5, others prefer the iPhone. Just get what you like and enjoy it.
As for $AAPL reaching $1 trillion market cap, it’s entirely possible. Discounted forward P/E against the S&P 500, latent pricing power with the iPhone coupled with further revenue generating products and services. As long as net cash, cash flow, margins and revenue remain strong and stable, it’s only a matter of time until we see an even higher $AAPL.
In my opinion, an issue that Apple has going forward is margin pressure on the iPhone. They’ve shown strong pricing power with the iPhone 6/6+, but as with any other industry, commoditised products always experience margin decline over the years. I’m not saying that Apple’s brand and feature differentiation aren’t enough to counter this, just that it’s a consideration in the matter especially when the iPhone makes up a huge proportion of revenue/profit.
Overall, I’m confident that the next wave of products, services and general diversification of revenue sources paired with a strong ecosystem and a focussed management will ultimately lead to success.
Oh look. A kid who only knows about phones.
This shows that Apple is still at the top of the technology community, at least in my opinion. There have been reports in the past of companies ripping off Apple in order to keep up, but it clearly hasn’t worked. It’s incredible that they’ve been able to surpass their entire profits of 2010 in just one quarter of this year. It will be a monumental day when a company reaches one trillion dollars in value. Well done, Steve Jobs.
