On February 5, we reported that Apple had resumed the position of most valuable company in the world after reaching the fourth position (due to the devaluation of its shares). A day later, however, Microsoft recovered the crown.

This week, things are not looking good for Apple – and it ended up being overtaken by Amazon.
With a 0.42% drop in the $ AAPL and a 0.12% appreciation of the $ AMZN, Apple now occupies the third position in this disputed ranking hand in hand – even though, in practice, this title represents absolutely nothing. Google (Alphabet) comes next, closing the Top 4 and at a relatively far distance.
The numbers for the day looked like this:
| 1 | Microsoft | $ 106.81 | -0.07% | $ 819.5 billion |
| 2 | Amazon | $ 1,640.00 | + 0.12% | $ 805.6 billion |
| 3 | Apple | $ 170.18 | -0.42% | $ 802.4 billion |
| 4 | Alphabet | $ 1,120.16 | -0.11% | $ 708.6 billion |
As we can see, only Amazon closed the day on the positive. We’ll see how things get through the week.

| 3 | Amazon | $ 1,622.65 | -1.06% | $ 797.1 billion |
| 4 | Alphabet | $ 1,121.67 | + 0.13% | $ 781.6 billion |
We’ll see what tomorrow’s roller coaster will look like.
