Microsoft has once again topped the ranking of the world’s most expensive companies, setting a new record for the value of shares at USD 467.68 per share. This was reported by CNBC.
As a result of Thursday’s trading, Microsoft shares rose by 0.8%, bringing the company’s market capitalisation to USD 3.48 trillion.
Nvidia is currently in second place with a capitalisation of $3.42 trillion, and Apple is in third place with a valuation of $3 trillion.
Previously, the record price of Microsoft shares was set on 10 July 2024 at $466.25. Since the beginning of 2025, the company’s securities have risen by 11%.
Analysts attribute the stock’s growth to Microsoft’s strong position in artificial intelligence. The company’s CEO Satya Nadella confirmed that the partnership with OpenAI continues despite the transformation in strategy.
“OpenAI remains our largest cloud infrastructure customer. We are thrilled to be able to work with the best AI solutions,” said Nadella.
