I've heard this almost every year, and almost every year it turns out to be an incorrect assumption and as Aloha pointed out here - what is the obsession with growth?
Growth does not equal stability.
- BinaryIdiot 11y ago> what is the obsession with growth Growth means return on investment. You gotta go in the public markets if you want to make a good return. That or dividends or a company being sold (which is obviously not going to happen to Apple).
- morgante 11y agoApple doesn't necessarily need to grow its revenue in order to provide ROI. They could merely decline/plateau at a slower rate than the market has priced it at. Or they could use their gobs of cash to continue the buyback program. In fact, Apple's buyback program is expected to reach $200 billion by 2017. Even if Apple's revenue stopped growing tomorrow, they would throw off enough money to run a huge buyback program for years to come.
