"Alphabet Inc. has overtaken Apple Inc. to become the second-most valuable company by market capitalization, a reflection of how the Google parent has emerged as one of the most significant winners of artificial intelligence. Shares of Alphabet rose 2.4% on Wednesday, closing with a valuation of $3.89 trillion. That allowed it to surpass Apple, which closed with a market cap of $3.85 trillion on Wednesday, following a six-day slump that erased nearly 5% and almost $200 billion off its value."
"The divergence widened further Thursday, with Apple opening 1.2% lower and Alphabet gaining 1.1%. This is the first time Alphabet has been larger than Apple since 2019. Nvidia Corp. remains the largest stock, valued at about $4.6 trillion. Alphabet shares have been on a tear of late, and gained more than 65% over 2025, making them the best performer among the Magnificent Seven."
