Spoiler alert - Apple's market cap was $7.5 billion 2004.
- dstein 15y agoExcept if Microsoft had bought it, it would not be worth even that much today.
- orijing 15y agoI wonder if Skype acquisition will follow the same fate
- meroliph 15y agoThe same assumed fate?
- yannickmahe 15y agoMicrosoft would probably worth more than currently however.
- coryl 15y agoWouldn't MSFT would have had to pay a premium on the market value per share? So upwards of 120% of market price?
- irrelative 15y agoObviously this isn't meant to be taken seriously, but you could never buy a company for it's market cap. Shareholders wouldn't agree to an acquisition where they make exactly what they have now. Also, you couldn't just buy up a ton of shares of stock either with the whole supply-demand curve of shares. If you buy 1% of Apple's shares, the share prices isn't going to just hover around the original price.
