Oct. 28, 2025, 10:11 AM EDTBy Steve KopackApple on Tuesday became only the third company to break through the $4 trillion market value milestone.Apple shares rose fractionally in early trading, just enough to briefly push the company’s value above the historic level.Nvidia and Microsoft crossed the $4 trillion threshold in July. Nvidia’s market valuation has grown even more since then, hitting $4.71 trillion.Microsoft’s value rose above $4 trillion again Tuesday, on separate news that the Windows software maker’s stake in a reorganized OpenAI would be worth $135 billion. Apple has lagged several of its Big Tech peers this year, with fears that its artificial intelligence efforts are coming up short. Apple has gained just 7.3% in 2025, well behind Nvidia’s 45%, Alphabet’s 42% and Meta Platforms’ 30%. For the year, the broad-based S&P 500 has risen 17%. But Apple’s fortunes have changed in recent months.In early September, a federal judge ruled that Google did not have to divest its Chrome browser business, which benefitted Apple. As part of the ruling, the judge said Google could continue to pay to have its search engine preloaded on devices, such as iPhones. Alphabet currently pays Apple billions of dollars a year to do so.In mid-September, the company released its newest iPhones. The extra-slim iPhone Air, which briefly faced a delay before customers in China could purchase it, eventually was released and sold out in minutes in the country.The negative sentiment regarding Apple among some Wall Street analysts also began turning around in recent weeks. “Our checks suggest this may be more than the average iPhone refresh cycle, as lead times for the base iPhone 17 continue to outpace last year’s levels,” analysts at Evercore ISI wrote on Monday. “In addition, our survey work points to a strong demand environment.”Multiple other analysts have also upgraded Apple’s stock.Apple CEO Tim Cook with President Trump in the Oval Office on Aug. 6.Demetrius Freeman / The Washington Post via Getty ImagesTo add to the company’s good luck, over the course of President Donald Trump’s trade war, most Apple products have been exempt from tariffs. Apple CEO Tim Cook has paid Trump multiple visits in the Oval Office and attended a state dinner that King Charles III hosted in the U.K. in Trump’s honor last month. On Tuesday, Cook appeared again with Trump in Japan.Over the last month, Apple has overtaken other major tech companies with a more than 5% gain, well ahead of Amazon’s 3% and close to Nvidia’s 7%. Over the last month, Meta’s shares have returned only 1.5%.Apple reports earnings on Thursday. Wall Street analysts expect that the company has even more room to run. As of Tuesday, the Wall Street consensus is for the tech giant to report more than $100 billion in quarterly revenue.Steve KopackSteve Kopack is a senior reporter at NBC News covering business and the economy.

Oct. 15, 2025, 5:26 PM EDT / Updated Oct. 15, 2025, 8:15 PM EDTBy Alexandra MarquezZohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee in the New York mayoral race, said Wednesday that it was “too early” to give President Donald Trump credit for negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, saying he would be willing to do so if the ceasefire is “lasting” and “durable.””When it comes to the ceasefire, I am thankful, and I have hope that it will actually endure and that it will be lasting,” Mamdani told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum.Asked by MacCallum about whether he credits Trump, whose administration negotiated the first phase of the peace plan with Israel and Hamas, Mamdani said, “I think it’s too early to do so.””If it proves to be something that is lasting, something that is durable, then I think that that is where you give credit,” he said.Anna Kelly, a spokesperson for the White House, said Wednesday night that “even Barack Hussein Obama and top Democrats have praised President Trump for his historic peace deal that received overwhelming support from Israelis and Arab leaders alike. The Little Communist clearly isn’t ready for prime-time.”Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary for mayor in June, beating almost a dozen other Democratic candidates — including former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — has come under scrutiny for his views on Israel and the Middle East.He has long supported recognizing the state of Palestine and labeled the war in Gaza a “genocide,” and he received criticism from his opponents and Jewish groups earlier when he initially declined to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” in a podcast interview.Inside UNICEF’s aid operation in Gaza after the ceasefire05:11In June, Mamdani told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that it was “not language that I use” and that “I don’t believe that the role of the mayor is to police speech.”Weeks later, The New York Times reported that Mamdani told business leaders that he would “discourage” others from using the phrase. In Wednesday’s Fox News interview, Mamdani said that he was still skeptical that the peace deal would last, citing reports that Israeli soldiers killed five Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday.”I continue to have concerns, because I’ve seen reports still, just in the last few days, that five Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military. And that’s what gives me pause about issuing any kind of praise or celebration at a moment when it is still in its infancy,” Mamdani told MacCallum.He also responded to the news that Hamas, which, as part of the peace deal, agreed to return living and deceased hostages taken in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, returned a body that was not that of one of the hostages.“I think those are bodies or remains that should absolutely be returned. And I think that I have no issue critiquing Hamas or the Israeli government because my critiques all come from a place of universal human rights,” Mamdani said.Several of the families of deceased hostages called this week for an “immediate suspension” of the ceasefire agreement when just four of 28 deceased hostages were initially returned to Israel.Trump traveled to Israel this week to oversee the implementation of the first phase of the peace deal and speak before the Israeli Knesset.Mamdani on Wednesday also reiterated his long-stated position about whether he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is under an arrest warrant that has been imposed by the International Criminal Court. “This is a city that believes in international law,” he said, adding, “I believe that we should uphold arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court.”Mamdani added that he wouldn’t create legislation to uphold an international arrest warrant and that he would “exhaust every legal option in front of me” to arrest people under warrants only if they visited New York City.Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.
