Will Apple Reclaim Its Title as the Largest Company in the World by Market Cap? The Answer May Surprise You.
For more than a decade, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) was the largest company in the world by market capitalization. And while it still has a market cap of $3 trillion as of this writing, it has been surpassed by Microsoft and Nvidia in the last few years as cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) computer chips take the market by storm. It was one of the longest reigns in market history, but Apple's status as top market cap leader has officially come to an end. Will it make a comeback and reclaim its No. 1 spot? In the next few years, at least, the answer is quite clear for investors. Slower growth than its peers In order to compare Apple with other trillion-dollar market cap peers, the first thing to do is look at growth. Microsoft has grown its revenue by 36% over the last three years. Nvidia has grown its revenue by over 300%. Apple? Its revenue is only up 3.3% in the last three years, not growing much at all and greatly trailing the rate of inflation. Fewer consumers are buying iPhones every year while new products like the Vision Pro flopped. It looks like this will continue over the next few years as well. Microsoft and Nvidia are benefiting immensely from AI and its impact on demand for cloud computing and semiconductor products, where both companies are leaders. Apple has failed to capture any share of these rapidly growing sectors, which is why these other "Magnificent Seven" stocks are charging ahead of it in market capitalization. If these trends hold, the other cloud and AI players such as Amazon and Alphabet may pass Apple and send the stock further down the market cap rankings list. Is the valuation cheaper? Growth is not the entire picture with a stock. investors also need to consider valuation and the current earnings multiples of Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. On the one hand, look at the trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio and see that Apple's P/E of 31 is well below Microsoft's P/E of 35 and Nvidia's P/E of 46. This would make Apple stock cheaper in a vacuum and could help it regain some ground in the market cap race. However, in all likelihood, these two competitors deserve to trade at higher earnings multiples than Apple because of faster growth in earnings per share (EPS). Similar to revenue, both Microsoft and Nvidia have grown EPS at a much faster pace than Apple while Apple's EPS has barely budged in the last few years. Expect this to continue over the next five years. Apple may see its EPS fall over the next few years. Its high-margin services and software revenue is under attack from antitrust lawsuits. The App Store was ruled a monopoly and Apple is now forced to allow third-party payment processors on mobile applications. Its huge payment from Google for default search engine status is also at risk of getting nullified due to a current lawsuit against Google. Both of these developments may hurt Apple's earnings power over the next few years. AAPL EPS Diluted (TTM) data by YCharts Why Apple will not reclaim its status as the largest company in the world I think it is unlikely that Apple will reclaim its throne atop the market cap leaderboard. It has minimal growth avenues to drive revenue higher while a company like Nvidia is posting 69% year-over-year revenue growth in its latest quarterly results. This dichotomy means that when it comes to market cap, Apple will fall further behind Nvidia and Microsoft in the years to come. Apple is a risky stock to buy right now. It is growing slowly, trades at a premium P/E ratio, and has risks coming that could hurt its future profitability. Avoid buying this stock for the time being. Should you invest $1,000 in Apple right now? Before you buy stock in Apple, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Apple wasn't one of them.

3 Dividend Growth Stocks to Buy in June and Hold Forever
High-yield dividend stocks are great, but you know what's even better? High-yield dividends that can grow rapidly. Prologis (NYSE: PLD), MPLX (NYSE: MPLX), and McCormick (NYSE: MKC) present investors with an unusual opportunity. They've been offering yields that are more than double the market average, plus they tend to raise their payouts rapidly. Here's why there's a good chance they'll generate a double-digit yield on cost for investors who buy now and hold over the long run. 1. Prologis Prologis is the largest owner of logistics-related real estate on the planet and offers a 3.6% yield at recent prices. At the end of March, it owned or had investments in a stunning 1.3 billion square feet of logistics real estate. Prologis has one of the best credit ratings of any real estate investment trust (REIT), which enables it to borrow at interest rates its tenants can only dream of. For many businesses that own their logistics infrastructure, selling a building to Prologis and leasing it back is a great option for raising capital. Amazon rents more space from Prologis than any other tenant. At just 5% of total rent, though, this REIT could maintain its dividend payout even if the everything store suddenly becomes the hardly anything store. A slew of businesses fueling the e-commerce transition enabled Prologis to raise its dividend payout by an impressive 11.7% annually over the past five years. Sale-leaseback deals are already popular in the U.S., but this form of financing is still catching on in international markets. Currently, less than 30% of Prologis' net operating income is derived from international markets. Ex-U.S. operations playing catch-up could allow this REIT to continue its long history of big dividend payout raises. 2. MPLX MPLX is a midstream energy business that pushes heaps of gas and crude oil through its growing pipeline operation. Until 2012, it was part of Marathon Petroleum, and the oil refining giant still buys a lot of the crude flowing through its pipes. MPLX is an income-seeking investor's dream come true because the revenue its pipelines generate is relatively reliable. Extra visibility regarding demand through its Marathon Petroleum tie-up gives it an advantage that translates to rapid dividend raises. At the moment, MPLX offers a huge 7.5% yield, and a new investor's yield on cost could quickly reach a double-digit percentage. The pipeline operator has raised its dividend payout by 8.1% annually over the past decade. With first-quarter net income rising 12% year over year, a big payout bump in the near term seems likely. Before filling your retirement account portfolio with MPLX shares, it's important to realize this is a master limited partnership (MLP). Since MLPs are tax-advantaged entities, things can get complicated if your traditional IRA receives more than $1,000 annually from MLP investments. 3. McCormick Investors who want to add some flavor to their portfolios should consider McCormick, the spice and flavorings giant. This company has paid a dividend every year since 1925, and it's raised its payout for 38 consecutive years. If you look around your favorite grocery store, you'll find products from several businesses with decades-long dividend-raising track records. That said, I don't think any of them are raising their payouts as quickly as the spice king. McCormick's payout has risen by 8.4% annually over the past 10 years. Rising commodity costs abroad have pressured earnings growth in recent quarters and pushed the stock down by about 31% from its peak in 2020. So far, 2025 hasn't been a great year for selling spices. In the first quarter, sales hardly budged year over year. Despite the temporary challenges, McCormick expects adjusted earnings to rise by 6% this year, at the midpoint of management's guided range. At its depressed price, McCormick offers an unusually large 2.5% yield. This isn't a huge starting point, but steady movement in the right direction means patient shareholders could receive a double-digit yield on cost by the time they're ready to retire. Should you invest $1,000 in Prologis right now? Before you buy stock in Prologis, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Prologis wasn't one of them.

Ports, mines and pipelines top premiers' wish lists ahead of meeting with Carney
OTTAWA – Canada's premiers are heading into to a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney in Saskatoon Monday armed with their wish lists for major 'nation-building' projects that could buttress the economy in the face of a U.S. trade war. Carney asked the premiers to each pass on five suggestions for national infrastructure projects, and Monday's meeting will aim to identify the ones that will make the final cut to be fast tracked using legislation Ottawa may introduce as early as this week. The conversation is taking place against the backdrop of an ongoing trade war with the United States, renewed debate about separatism in Alberta and a push to break down interprovincial trade barriers to encourage more trade between provinces and less reliance on trade with the U.S. That push already had a sense of urgency, following several months of unpredictable tariff moves by President Donald Trump, but got another injection of reality on Friday, as Trump indicated plans to double already damaging tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25 per cent to 50 per cent on June 4. Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in a statement Saturday that Ottawa has 'taken note' of that new plan and remains 'resolute' to defend Canadian workers and communities. 'We can give ourselves far more than the United States can take from us,' he said on X. 'That's why this Monday, the prime minister will meet with premiers in Saskatoon with one goal — build one Canadian economy out of thirteen, and get big, nation-building projects built faster.' The federal government is developing what it calls a 'national interest' bill to fast-track a small number of nation-building projects with a streamlined regulatory approval process as a substitute for reviews under the Impact Assessment Act. Which projects are the main topic of debate on Monday, with a heavy emphasis on critical minerals mining, energy and ports. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Friday his priority is mining in the 'Ring of Fire,' a region about 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ont., that contains massive deposits of critical minerals. Another priority is building a new nuclear plant in the province. Ford said he believes Carney will pick a few priorities across the country that would have a major impact. 'One has to be the pipelines,' Ford said, adding Canada can't 'be relying on the U.S. any longer' as its primary energy customer. Ford said he believes Carney wants to work collaboratively with the provinces and that Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe told him Friday morning he's excited to host the event. 'I think a priority is to bring the whole country together,' Ford said. 'The previous government and previous prime minister didn't show enough love, in my opinion, to Alberta and Saskatchewan. We have to be a united country.' Moe offered to host the meeting when he spoke with Carney soon after the federal election. Moe said in a social media in May that this will be the first meeting between the prime minister and the premiers held in his province in 40 years. The gathering comes as both Saskatchewan and Manitoba have declared provincewide states of emergency as wildfires threaten communities in remote northern regions. In Manitoba, 17,000 residents have been forced from their homes in recent days, while more than 4,000 people in Saskatchewan have had to evacuate. In a mid-May letter to Carney, Moe pitched 10 policy changes he said the federal government should make to reset Ottawa's relationship with Saskatchewan. His requests include starting negotiations with China to remove its tariffs on Canadian agri-food products, repealing the oil and gas emissions cap, expanding pipeline capacity and building trade and economic corridors across the country. 'Your government has the ability to move forward on all 10 of these items quickly, which would clearly signal a new, more positive relationship between Saskatchewan and the federal government than we have had for the past 10 years,' the letter said. In May, New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt shared on social media her province's priorities for nation-building projects, including critical mineral projects that are ready to move now. She said New Brunswick ports are 'ready to increase national and international trade with additional investments' and that the province is a leader in modular home building, ready to 'tap into investments to tackle the national housing crisis.' Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew also sent Carney a letter in May pitching federal-provincial partnership on several projects, including a trade corridor through the Port of Churchill, establishing Indigenous 'fair trade zones' and developing critical minerals infrastructure. In his letter, Kinew called his province 'the Costco of critical minerals.' Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's office declined to provide a statement ahead of the meeting, saying the premier has made her priorities for the federal government clear in recent weeks. British Columbia will be represented at the meeting by deputy premier Niki Sharma, as Premier David Eby left Saturday for a 10-day trade trip to Asia. Eby's office said he booked his trade diversification mission trip to Japan, South Korea and Malaysia before the first ministers meeting was scheduled, and virtual attendance isn't possible because of the time difference. A May 1 letter from Eby to Carney cited four 'priority areas' he said require closer partnership between B.C. and Ottawa: the ongoing softwood lumber dispute, efforts to streamline rail and trade corridors, clean energy and critical mineral projects, and housing affordability and homelessness. — With files from Jack Farrell in Edmonton, Allison Jones in Toronto and Wolfgang Depner in Victoria This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 1, 2025.
