Apple Hits Record $333.26, Up 20% YTD as Market Cap Approaches $5 Trillion

Apple closed at a record $333.26 on July 16, 2026 — up roughly 20% year-to-date, pushing its market cap near $5 trillion. The Nasdaq 100 gained 1.3% over the same period; the S&P 500, about 3%. Bloomberg attributes the rally to traders rotating out of AI-related selloffs. Apple's own AI products, shipped in June, remain untested at scale.
