The chipmaker’s market value crossed $3.34 trillion on Tuesday, surpassing Microsoft's $3.32 trillion. Apple, which was unseated by both, has a market value of $3.27 trillion. Despite the gains, the trio are neck-and-neck.

Zino raised his price target to $139 per share. The stock, already this year, has gained more than 174%.
