As of this morning, it has been dethroned by Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), the company Warren Buffett has bet more on than any other.24/7 Wall St.Per live market data on July 17, 2026, Apple's market capitalization sits at roughly $4.88 trillion, edging NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) at about $4.85 trillion. The lead is slim enough to change hands in a single trading session, but for now the title belongs to Apple. Reuters noted this is a spot Apple last held in April 2025.Buffett's Biggest Bet, QuantifiedApple is Warren Buffett's largest holding. According to Berkshire Hathaway's most recent 13F filing, as of March 31, 2026 and filed May 15, 2026, Apple remains Berkshire's largest single holding by a wide margin: about 22% of the entire equity portfolio, some 227.9 million shares, valued at roughly $57.8 billion at the time of that filing. Buffett has trimmed the position over the past couple of years, yet Apple has stayed firmly at the top of Berkshire's book. The man who once called Apple "probably the best business I know in the world" is watching that conviction pay off in the most public way possible.How the Flip HappenedTwo things happened at once: Apple ran hard, and NVIDIA stalled.Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Apple didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.Apple stock has climbed steadily. It is up 5.39% over the past week, 11.37% over the past month, and 22.81% year to date, capping a one-year gain of 59.21%. That is a remarkable run for a company many investors had written off as the sleepy, mature giant of Big Tech. Fueling the reacceleration: Q2 FY26 revenue of $111.18 billion, iPhone sales of $56.99 billion off what Tim Cook called "extraordinary demand for the iPhone 17 lineup," and a fresh $100 billion buyback authorization disclosed in the company's Q2 FY26 8-K.NVIDIA, meanwhile, has gone flat, essentially unchanged over the past month and up 11.34% year to date, a fraction of Apple's climb.This comes amid a sharp pullback across semiconductor and AI-infrastructure stocks, the same leverage-driven unwind that has rattled names like Micron and Corning. On the most recent trading day, NVIDIA fell 1.5%, more than Apple's 0.96% decline. When the AI darlings sell off and the cash machine holds firmer, gaps this narrow close fast.Terms and Privacy PolicyEU DSA contactPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
