Microsoft's stock price rose this week, briefly seeing the company join the pantheon of tech giants of a trillion dollars. MSFT opened at $ 121.05 Monday morning and peaked at $ 125.76 Tuesday, pushing the company's valuation to more than $ 1 trillion. The price has dropped since.

An MSFT stock traded at $ 125.01 yesterday at the close, for a total market capitalization of $ 959.1 billion. At the time of writing these lines, shares are trading before marketing for $ 130.37, and it seems likely that Microsoft will recover more than $ 1 trillion in the near future.

Apple and Amazon have both beaten Microsoft for a 13-digit valuation last summer, although none of them have retained this status. Apple's market capitalization is currently $ 976.82 billion; Amazon is $ 935.76 billion.
