Apple is edging closer to overtaking Nvidia in its bid to become the largest U.S. company by market capitalization. As of early July 2026, Apple’s market cap stands at $4.592 trillion, while Nvidia’s is between $4.736 trillion and $4.75 trillion.

The rivalry reflects broader investor interest in technology hardware versus data-center and AI infrastructure growth, with both companies dominating the upper echelons of U.S. equities.
