2 Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than Apple 10 Years From Now

in the world finance, 10 Years are the blink of an eye. Want proof? Take a closer look at the table below:

In August 2014, IBMThe company’s market value was about 18 times greater than Nvidia‘s (NASDAQ: NVDA)But oh, how things turned out. today, Nvidia It has a market cap of around $3 trillion – almost 17 times larger than IBM.

So, we look forward to the future. 10 years what These are the companies that May exceed appleHow big is Amazon’s market cap? Here are two companies that could make it happen.

Microsoft

If a company is going to overtake Apple in the next decade, it will need a huge market cap. And even if we assume that Apple’s market cap stays the same, This means The company will need access to: Market value $3.4 trillion to pursue Apple.

It is a very difficult task, and there Only a limited number of companies who I can do it. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) He is one of them.

For starters, Microsoft’s market cap is already $3.1 trillion. As of the time of writing this. like Recently in June, Microsoft announced Did he have Market cap greater than Apple. Moreover, Microsoft has some competitive advantages that could, over time, help the company’s market value surpass Apple’s.

First, Microsoft has a more diverse business. The company is involved in cloud computing, gaming, advertising, hardware, software, social networking, and artificial intelligence. In short, Microsoft has many paths to success. apple, On the other hand, the company has traditionally benefited from its outstanding hardware innovations. While Apple’s services and AI could boost the company’s revenue, declining iPhone sales could pose a real challenge for Apple over the next decade.

In my book, that means an advantage for Microsoft.

Nvidia

I own Nvidia Reservations NowIts high valuation makes it vulnerable to a bad correction if the company’s sales show any Signs of slowing down. However, this article is about what could happen in the next ten years. In this case, I think Nvidia is well positioned to outperform Apple.

That’s because Nvidia’s core business — making the graphics processing units (GPUs) that will power advanced AI systems for the next decade — is on a long-term growth trajectory that Apple doesn’t expect. simply Cannot match.

Sales of Apple’s flagship product – the iPhone – rose every year between 2007 and 2015, but have remained flat since then.

On the other hand, Nvidia is still growing. Over the past two years, the company’s revenue has tripled as it sells GPUs at a high rate. This growth not so It is likely that slow In the next few years. Most analysts expect Nvidia’s sales to double again to about $160 billion by 2026.

The story continues

There are certainly some challenges ahead as rivals seek to take market share away from Nvidia in the booming AI chip market. But even if Nvidia’s sales growth slows, it could easily close the $500 billion market cap gap with Apple over the next decade.
