People said the same about Steve Ballmer.
And look at how much MS has changed since they got an innovative CEO in his place.
Hopefully Sundar is shown the door and the reins are given to someone else actually willing to innovate. And the share price will skyrocket like it has with MS.
- paxys 3y agoMSFT when Ballmer became CEO in 2000 – $40 MSFT when Ballmer was replaced in 2014 – $40 GOOG when Sundar became CEO in 2015 – $30 GOOG today – $137 The situations aren't exactly comparable.
- cwilkes 3y agoMSFT today: $373. Yeah I would say 10x growth vs 4x isn’t comparable.
- jakubadamw 3y agoThe point of the comparison was to compare the stock growth during the tenures of the two CEOs in question. Steve Ballmer ceased to be CEO in 2014.
- Crash0v3rid3 3y agoWhat a terrible comparison. Both companies went through a stock split while they were CEOs.
- paxys 3y agoAll stock apps account for splits.
- Crash0v3rid3 3y agoThe post I am commenting on is NOT accounting for a stock split.
- thecleaner 3y agoThey dont really have a signal as well. The stock price could be due to external reasons like growth of mobile, growth of internet etc. These are the products that Google had always had. MSFT under Satya otoh launched a major initiative into the cloud and delivered growing revenue yoy.
