MicrosoftApplebriefly topping the iPhone maker during intraday trading Thursday.
Shares of Microsoft climbed more than 3% for the week, bringing the company’s market cap to $2.89 trillion, while Apple’s stock dropped by over 3%, lowering its valuation to $2.87 trillion.
Redburn Atlantic Equities analyst James Cordwell downgraded Apple to neutral from buy on Wednesday, citing « little room for upside over the next few years » in iPhone growth and an « anticipated underwhelming March quarter. »
Apple said Thursday that former Vice President Al Gore will retire from the company’s board next month after serving as a director since 2003.
Microsoft, meanwhile, got a vote of confidence Thursday after discussing its artificial intelligence capabilities to developers at an event in San Francisco. Piper Sandler analysts told clients in a note that they were « encouraged by the momentum around the most mature AI products » and mentioned that GitHub website traffic has accelerated year over year for three months in a row. The analysts have the equivalent of a buy rating on Microsoft shares.
Apple had been the most valuable public company for over a year, following brief periods when that distinction was held by Saudi Aramco and Microsoft.
