They do, thats one of those things that companies that are traded publicly are required to do.
- shmerl 12y agoAre all companies which have such stores traded publicly? I don't see a direct connection between these two aspects. For instance, in China there are various Android markets and I'm not sure all of them belong to publicly traded companies.
- nl 12y agoThat's untrue. Publicly traded companies are required to disclose revenue, but not required to break it down by source. Neither Apple or Google break out the revenue from the *Stores (unless they have started doing it very recently). There are third party analytics firms that provide reasonable estimates though[1].
