Apple Nearly Worth More Than Microsoft, HP And Dell … Combined
- lettergram 15y agoIt seriously bothers me that the article is using market cap.... The value of microsoft is actually roughly equal to the of apple, the value of IBM is equal to microsoft and apple combined... This is looking at assets and profits per year. The article is discussing the market cap as if it is a way in which you can determine the value of the company, instead of what it is, the value of its shares. Granted it should be a representation, if lets say microsoft drops 2 Cents on its stocks over a minor scare or something the market cap drops much more than the company value which maintains the same price.
- robinwauters 15y agoI see your point, I'm using market cap as what the market considers the value of the company in question. I also mentioned that it's a good trend barometer first and foremost, looking at equity value and not enterprise value, so I don't see why it would 'bother' you i.e. misleading in some way.
