Apple Corporation has become the world’s most valuable company
Apple Corporation has become the world’s most valuable company after disposing Exxon, the oil giant, from the No. 1 spot just recently. Apple now is worth US$337 billion, and its share prices are up 13 percent this year alone. This is thanks to sales of the iPad and iPhone and an increased business in China.
