Apple (AAPL) is one of the premium tech stocks on the stock market. However, it has plenty of competition over the next few years, especially amongst the Magnificent-7. The other six members of the top-stocks grouping have just as much growth potential as AAPL, however, some analysts see two in particular as candidates to dethrone the iPhone maker atop the market capitalization rankings.

Indeed, Apple has performed well as a company in the last few years, with exceptional iPhone sales each year. Its other devices, such as MacBooks, headphones, and watches, also typically perform well. However, the stock hasn’t been up to par in the last three years. After a slump in late 2022-mid 2023, the stock has recovered. In the last five years, AAPL is up over 200%, but in the last 3 years, it’s up less than half of that.

Could These Two Stocks Top AAPL in Next Five Years?

Looking to the next five years, two Magnificent-7 members could compete with Apple for the best stock on the market by revenue and market cap. While AAPL hasn’t excelled too much in the last 2-3 years, rivals Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL) are up more in the same frame.

According to Yahoo Finance analysts, those two companies will post double-digit growth over the next few years:

Using these rates compared to Apple (AAPL)’s 5%, the analysts suggest that in the next five years, both MSFT and GOOGL can surpass Apple in revenue.

All three of these stocks are in the magnificent-7 for a reason, they are top performers on the market. Another company looking to enter that conversation, especially in terms of market cap, is Nvidia. As the AI wave continues, Nvidia was arguably the best stock performer in 2024, but has yet to continue that momentum in 2025. Despite that, it remains one of the top-5 market cap companies, and will likely reign as such for the next five years.
