Apple is the most valuable company in the world, and that is about its $2 trillion in the stock market but earlier trends show that the Cupertino giant dipped in stocks along with other "Big Tech." Apple is joined by Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft in the recent trends that show a loss in profit and performance in the market.
People are seen behind the Apple logo in Apple's flagship London retail store on Regent Street on December 27, 2006 in London, England. With many stores open for the first time since Christmas Eve, bargain hunters are searching for the best buys as the post-Christmas sales get under way.
Stocks and their trends are expected to go up and down, especially if the company is laying low or is not generating any buzz among the public and its investors. The changing trends of investments and money are expected to spontaneously drop, but it would take a lot for the company to regain its losses, especially in the COVID-19 era.
Apple went below its $2 trillion valuations and closed right below it on the recent trading day, resulting in major losses of the company. The investors are said to be shifting their focus from technology, which was initially generating the largest buzz in the past months, to other figures in the market to grow their investments among other industries.

Apple Loses $2 Trillion Valuation, Soon Expected to Rise
According to Apple Insider, the Cupertino giant's stock has dipped more than four percent in the recent market investment review, in which the company lost its status in holding its spot at $2 trillion. Now, Apple is valued at around $1.96 billion, which is almost a $40 billion loss for the company and a massive amount of money.
The total decline of Apple's shares is down by 4.17 percent and is only at $116.36 per stock in the stock market and the company's valuation. Investors pulling out several stocks, assets, and investment shares from the company during downtime is common in the industry, and trends are expected to dip during these times.
Apple is currently lying low, mainly because its plans to release its next batch of devices and technological advances would not be around until the summer, particularly in Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). However, there were initial rumors that the company is planning to release by the last week of March.
Big Tech Also Faces Market Decline
According to several experts, this is normal for big techs to lose some and then gaining more as it makes a comeback with its innovations and new products in the market. Moreover, Apple is not the only "big tech" company that is facing this trend and market loss as competitors are also observing the same decline from its investors.
- AAPL down 4.17%
- GOOG down 4.27%
- FB down 3.39%
- MSFT down 1.82%
- AMZN down 1.62%
Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon are also facing the trend, with its valuation slowly dipping by several percentages, but is a big hit on its total value as a company.
