Punters on the prediction platform Polymarket still expect Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, XETRA:NVD) to end July as the world's most valuable company, even after a wobble that briefly cost it the crown. Traders put the chipmaker's chances at 70%, well ahead of Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL, XETRA:APC) on 29%, with Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) and the rest of big tech trailing at less than 2% each.
Apple will report its Q3 on Thursday, July 30. Ahead of the release, shares are trading at new highs and at a forward multiple of just under 40x earnings. The company also just regained its throne as the world's largest from Nvidia.
I keep hitting the buy button on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL | AAPL Price Prediction) because I have finally found a mega-cap AI story where I do not have to underwrite a $400 billion data center bill to believe in the upside.
