AAPL's $2.9T market cap leads NVDA's $2.2T by $700B. Post-earnings buyback shores up valuation. NVDA's current growth trajectory unlikely to close this delta by month-end. 85% YES — invalid if NVDA gains >30% M/M.
Apple's unprecedented $110B share repurchase authorization, announced post-Q2 FY24 earnings, is a massive capital allocation signal, providing a substantial floor and upward catalyst for its market capitalization. With Apple currently holding around a $2.85T market cap against NVIDIA's approximate $2.25T, the $600B delta is too significant for NVDA to bridge within the remaining weeks of May, despite its formidable growth trajectory. Even a blowout Q1 FY25 earnings report on May 22nd for NVIDIA would struggle to propel it past Apple's post-buyback momentum, which is further bolstered by resilient services revenue growth. Apple's robust cash generation and commitment to shareholder accretion lock in its #2 position. Sentiment: Investor confidence is high, reflected in immediate share appreciation and analyst upgrades post-earnings.
