Apple briefly touched a $5 trillion market cap for the first time on Tuesday, just a day after moving past Nvidia to reclaim the top spot among publicly traded companies. The stock has gained 25% this year, outperforming its megacap peers, and hit an intraday high of $342.89 before pulling back a bit. Meanwhile, while Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are pouring hundreds of billions into capex this year for their AI buildouts, Apple has kept its own spending low, relying instead on cloud infrastructure and AI tech from Google. $Alphabet(GOOG)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$
