Shares closed up 2.5 percent at $182.01, falling just short of the $3 trillion valuation at the bell. Apple has tripled its valuation in under four years and analysts have high expectations for the company going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Cook\u2019s massive tech company has seen annual growth across all of its products categories in its fourth-quarter earnings, boasting a revenue increase of 29 percent year-over-year. Apple\u2019s biggest sales driver remains its popular iPhone product line but the company saw its services business grow by 25.6 percent year-over-year and revenue of $18 billion during the quarter.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Analysts have been impressed by Apple in recent years, with Morgan Stanley\u2019s Katy Huberty raising the firm\u2019s price target on Apple stock from $164 to $200. In a note on Monday, TFI Asset Management Limited analyst Ming-Chi Kuo noted that Apple sold 27 million pairs of its newest model of AirPods over the Christmas season, driving 20 percent year-over-year growth for Apple\u2019s wearables division during the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Ives, an analyst at Wedbush, said on Sunday that Apple\u2019s $3 trillion market cap is a \u201cwatershed movement\u201d but the company still has room to grow. Ives currently values Apple\u2019s services business at $1.5 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Apple became the first publicly-traded company in the U.S. to hit a $1 trillion market cap during intraday trading on August 2, 2018. Two years later on August 19, 2020 the company hit a valuation of $2 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/01\/03\/apple-becomes-first-us-company-to-reach-3-trillion-market-cap.html\">CNBC here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-107 paragraph-0-2-12\"><strong><i>Lucas Nolan is a reporter for Breitbart News covering issues of free speech and online censorship.
