Will Apple’s Market Cap Now Surpass Microsoft Plus Google?
It wasn’t long ago that AAPL surpassed MSFT in market cap which was a huge shift in power in tech. However Apple is still on a tear and after an incredible earnings call yesterday where Apple reported 24 billion in sales for the quarter, their stock is flying high today given them a market cap of 323 billion. With MSFT flat over recent years they are now at 213 billion and Google is hovering around 168 billion, Apple maybe on a pace where its market cap will surpass the sum of Google and Microsoft put together.
The big curveball will come next year in tech when Facebook goes public as I’m not sure if the market knows how to value a company like Facebook. It will be fun to watch for sure.
