Apple and Nvidia Are the Two Largest Companies in the World. Which is the Better Stock to Buy?

Nvidia and Apple are the two largest companies in the world by market capitalization. Nvidia has a valuation of about $5.4 trillion, while Apple has a valuation of just under $5 trillion. This size difference is significant, with Apple needing to add the equivalent of a $500 billion company, similar to Mastercard, to catch up to Nvidia.

According to the Motley Fool, despite the current gap, the world's largest company doesn't always hold on to the spot for long.

Nvidia's shares are trading near their 52-week high, with a current price of $225.07, as reported by Investing.com. The company's PEG ratio is 0.22, suggesting an attractive valuation relative to its growth prospects. A director at Nvidia, Mark A. Stevens, recently sold a total of 1,366,000 shares of common stock on September 18, 2026, for approximately $300,147,095.
