AI Summary
Main Idea: Microsoft, led by CEO Satya Nadella, has surged close to passing Apple as the world’s most valuable company thanks to its strong cloud business and steadier stock performance.
Key Points:
- Microsoft briefly topped Apple in market value during trading and ended just behind it.
- The company’s rise comes from its shift away from Windows and toward cloud services, Office, LinkedIn, and other business tools.
- CEO Satya Nadella’s strategy helped Microsoft become a major cloud player and less dependent on consumer tech trends.
- Apple’s stock has dropped sharply on worries about iPhone sales, tariffs, and slower growth, which has helped Microsoft catch up.
