Ondrej Holzman Apple shares are experiencing a very successful period, today Apple's market value broke the $700 billion mark for the first time and set a new historical record. The shares of the Californian company are growing in a rocket way, just two weeks ago Apple's market value was around 660 billion dollars.
Since Tim Cook took the helm of Apple in August 2011, the company's market value has doubled. Apple shares reached their all-time high in September 2012, when (in August) the apple company's market value broke the 600 billion mark for the first time.
Apple's stock value has risen by nearly 60 percent over the past year, up 24 percent since the last October keynote where Apple introduced the new iPads. In addition, another strong period and growth is expected on Wall Street - Apple is expected to announce record Christmas sales of iPhones and at the same time start selling the expected Apple Watch next spring.
To compare how Apple's stock is doing, the second most valuable company in the world right now - Exxon Mobil - has a market value of just over $400 billion. Microsoft is attacking the $400 billion mark, and Google is currently valued at $367 billion.
This is like the entire stately debt of Slovakia and the Czech Republic combined
It's been about a year since I read a similar article, and even then they compared Apple to the GDP of the whole of Poland
Of course, I meant it ironically, I don't understand why you take it to heart
I buy :-)
Literally "The Cursed Realm" :)
Tim Cook is obviously leading the company brilliantly and as long as Apple's value and product sales continue to rise, talk of the entire company collapsing after the death of its founder is pointless…
Well, even Jobs himself says in his biography that Cook is more focused on profits than on the product. So far, I think it's doing fine, even if I don't think the iWatch is as amazing as it claims to be (But maybe the second generation could change that?). In any case, as long as it goes along these lines (They just don't have to thin out the products endlessly), I'll be satisfied.
I'm slowly starting to feel ashamed of the company.. Kor in light of the obvious rudeness that the founder must have set up.. But don't mind me. I'm also writing this because I'm not able to buy everything I want from them. Even though they probably treat some human values..
Judging by sw and especially hw upgrades over the last year, it will be some kind of stock market speculation :-)
Ladies and gentlemen, can someone remind me/enlighten me of one thing. I have a feeling that at one time the stock was around USD 600/pc… Or am I wrong? Wasn't there some "overpricing" by chance? Thanks…
