Apple Set to Become First Company Ever to Reach $3 Trillion Valuation

Apple Inc. has achieved a market value of $3 trillion, after its stock rose 0.6% to $190.80 in Friday's premarket trading. The tech giant's impressive growth over the past year, with its stock gaining 46% and adding over $900 billion to its size, has been attributed to its robust balance sheet, potential for dividend growth, active repurchasing program, and the popularity of its devices.
