Following what was a monumental year for a host of different stocks, many companies are expected to continue winning after the New Year. Indeed, Apple (APPL) may be chief among them, as the company’s revenue is expected to surge in 2025 as it looks to be the first company to reach a $4 trillion market cap.
Although it had to fend off emerging chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) as the top company on the planet by market cap, the iPhone developer is firmly in the top spot. Now, all eyes are on if the firm can extend its lead this year. Specifically, by becoming the first to break through the coveted market cap figure.

There are few companies on the planet that can match the status of Apple. The tech firm has been one of the most persevering, remaining the most valuable in the world for several years.
It was 2018 when Apple first surpassed a $1 trillion market cap. Yet, just two years later, it would become the first US-based company to surpass the $2 trillion mark. Then, in January of 2022, it became the first company ever to reach a $3 trillion market cap. To this point, only two other companies have joined Apple.
Now, the firm is set to be the first to reach yet another milestone, and this may well be the year for it to be done. Indeed, Apple (APPL) is set to enjoy surging revenue growth in 2025, as it looks to be the first to break through the $4 trillion market cap mark.

One of the biggest wildcards of the year is the company’s first foray into AI, Apple Intelligence. Debuting late in 2024, the company’s growth accelerated towards the end of fiscal year 2024. Altogether, its revenue jumped 6% year over year to $94.9 billion in Q4.
That should continue to grow, with AI integration a vital feature likely to drive increased iPhone sales. IDC data has projected iOS-based iPhone shipments to jump 3.1% this year. Comparatively, Android devices are only expecting a 1.7% jump.
Apple is expected to reach $414.4 billion in top-line growth, a 6% increase. Alternatively, bottom-line growth is projected to increase 10% to $7.39 per share. This growth and the continued monetization of AI features have it in a clear position to be the first to $4 trillion.
