CNBC Daily Open: Apple Reclaims Its Crown, SpaceX Returns to Earth

  • On Monday, Apple overtook chipmaker Nvidia to become the world's most valuable publicly traded company, with shares climbing 1% to a $4.95 trillion valuation while Nvidia fell 5% to $4.77 trillion.

  • Apple's reign could prove short-lived given the rapidly evolving AI landscape, as the company spent four years on the sidelines of the race, raising ongoing investor scrutiny.
