Microsoft on Monday briefly surpassed Apple as the most valuable company in the US, with a market capitalization of about $ 812 billion. Still, Apple was back on top by the stock market’s close, with a market value of more than $ 825 billion. The last time Microsoft was more valuable than Apple was in 2010.
It was a somewhat surprising turn of events, as less than two months ago Microsoft’s market value topped out at $ 887 billion while Apple’s reached a peak above $ 1.12 trillion. In August, Apple became the first US company with a $ 1 trillion valuation.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
