just to nitpick, Samsung's cash pile as of June 2018 is $83B, but once you combine all forms of assets (ie, inventories, PP&E, etc) it comes out to about $300B.

just to nitpick, Samsung's cash pile as of June 2018 is $83B, but once you combine all forms of assets (ie, inventories, PP&E, etc) it comes out to about $300B. Apple doesn't have large PP&E (their datacenters aren't worth much) and other forms of assets. Samsung made $50B in profit last year, but it also has much greater R&D and CapEx than Apple.
