So the massive share price drop is because of China? Go and buy an XR but don't try to lull us with your shaky 'crisis communication', the case Apple is crystal-clear.
- gamblor956 8y agoIf it's every non-Chinese company doing business in China seeing slowed Chinese growth (or even reduced Chinese demand), then it's pretty clear that China's market is the problem and not Apple. In this case, it's not just Apple and Samsung. It's a great many other industries, especially luxury goods, that have seen large drops in Chinese consumer demand.
- beforedawn 8y agoThen why hasn't Samsung's share price suffered as much as Apple's? Somebody tries to protect his Apple investment via forum spamming upvoted by voting rings. Btw, I am heavily invested in Apple but do not sugarcoat company-wide failure with China. Yes China is a problem but it's not Apple number one problem.
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> why hasn't Samsung's share price suffered as much as Apple's? Samsung’s and Apple’s stocks are apples and oranges. iPhone is a principal value driver for Apple. Small swings in iPhone demand mean big swings in Apple value. Samsung, on the other hand, is a diversified conglomerate. Moreover, Apple is—corporate structure-wise, for an investor—simple. Single Delaware corporation priced in U.S. dollars and traded in New York. Samsung is a chaebol. Lots of interlocking entities and agreements, parts of which are listed in Korea.
