Apple Inc. made Wall Street history last Wednesday when its 2020 stock surge pushedthe market value over $2 trillion, the first time a US company has surpassed that level. While it took Apple 38 years to reach its first $1 trillion in value, the next trillion only took two years after the company rapidly expanded its hardware ecosystem with more iPhones and new Apple Watches and AirPods, launched digital services, and leveraged① its base of 1.5 billion devices to generate more recurring revenue②. The Cupertino, California-based company has also been buoyed③ by the broad adoption of mobile internet-connected devices, apps, and other cloud services—especially during the COVID-19 lockdown. Buybacks and dividends④ have lured new investors, such as Warren Buffett, while an imminent stock split should keep smaller investors interested, too. (Bloomberg)

8月19日，苹果公司市值突破两万亿美元，创下华尔街纪录，成为首个市值超过两万亿美元的美国公司。这要仰赖2020年苹果股价的飙升。苹果用了38年才达到一万亿美元的市值，而市值突破第二个万亿大关，仅用了两年。这两年中，苹果迅速扩张硬件生态系统，推出了更多款式的手机、新款手表和无线耳机。苹果还推出了数字服务，并利用其15亿部设备的基础，制造了更多经常性收入。苹果总部位于美国加利福尼亚州的库比蒂诺。随着移动互联网设备、应用程序等云服务得到广泛应用，苹果也享受到了红利，尤其是在新冠疫情隔离期间。股票回购和分红已经吸引到沃伦•巴菲特等新的投资者，而即将到来的拆股应该也会引起中小投资者的兴趣。
