After Apple’s holiday quarter success, the Cupertino California company seemed to have reached an all-time high of $431 a share. This left the company to a market evaluation of roughly $400 billion at the time. Today, Apple seems to have passed a record $460 billion market cap with a new historical stock price high at $493.97 a share. This leaves Apple’s market cap valued as surpassing both Google and Microsoft combined, which have a market cap of $198.9 billion and $256.7 billion respectively.

What’s more surprising is that the current market evaluation for Apple rates it higher than Exxon Mobil Corporation’s market valuation of $402.72 billion. Analysts on Bloomberg Television said Apple passed 10% of all NASDAQ value with its new market cap. Furthermore, Needham & Company raised the price target for Apple shares to $620 and Canaccord Genuity also did the same raising their shares to $650. Both companies maintained a buy rating on the stock informing the public that now is a good time to go ahead and buy stock if you were considering doing so.
