Reportedly, Apple Inc. (AAPL) may soon achieve the lofty valuation of $3 trillion, which would make it as big as the world’s fifth-largest economy after Germany, just over a year after breaching the $2 trillion mark. Apple hit $1 trillion in market capitalization in 2018 and took two years to double that valuation.

Earlier this year, Apple briefly lost its title as the most valuable company to Microsoft Corp (MSFT) after CEO Tim Cook’s raised supply chain woes and the struggle to procure semiconductors and components to fulfill smartphones and laptops demand. Microsoft is about $500 billion short of reaching $3 trillion in market capitalization at the moment.

“Apple does seem to be more immune to the ebb and flow of economic forces just because of this really strong brand. It’s new product pipeline is pretty strong too. There is an expectation that Apple is still going to come for you even though there have been some weaknesses in getting hold of the handsets and making sure that they’re available for the public, ” stated Susannah Streeter, senior investment and markets analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.
