Move Over, Apple -- Microsoft Is the New Largest Company in the World
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been dethroned from its position as the largest company in the world. In its place rises Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), although this was a transition many investors saw coming from a mile away.
How did this happen? And is there anything for investors to be concerned about? Let's find out.
Apple took over the title of the world's largest company in 2011. This is assessed by market cap, which is stock price times the number of shares outstanding. From then until now, Apple has briefly lost control of the title from time to time, only to regain it. However, this switch looks to be different.
