Google – I mean Alphabet – becomes the world's largest company by market value [atualizado 2x]

A long time ago, Apple became Exxon Mobil and became the world's largest (publicly traded) company by market value. Recently, however, Ma's shares have been falling while Google's Alphabet, rising recently we even informed her that she was on her way to take Apple as the most valuable company on the planet.


This happened today, as the CNN Money.

Throughout today, the roles of Alphabet (GOOG) have risen to the point of raising the market cap US $ 533.4 billion; meanwhile, Apple's (AAPL) went down, causing the company's value to be $ 532.7 billion. At the close of the market, however, Apple returned to first position; It just seems that this will not last long.

Due to the strong financial results announced today (US $ 21.3 billion in revenues; US $ 8.67 per share), Alphabet's shares are rising significantly (~ 6%) in the post-closing negotiations and the company has everything to take the post of Apple tomorrow for real.

We will see how this dispute remains throughout 2016.
