I know nothing about this stuff but I’ve always wondered if there are any non-publicly traded companies (US or global) that are estimated to be even larger?
OH OH My portfolio increased by $10 today! 10 whole dollars!
More seriously, thank G-D, Apple stock is where it is and climbing!
My mom used to say, “It ain’t much but it’s better than a kick in the pants.”
I have a funny feeling that we’re going to be seeing this headline a LOT in the coming weeks/months… 🙂
Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into the 2012 Apple share price collapse. Nearly very day leading up to Great Apple Collapse of 2012, MDN would be posting this stuff but once the decline started, no more closing high headlines. They certainly wouldn’t be posting about how Apple’s once lofty share price was sinking into a bottomless pit.
I’m not sure if these headlines are considered gloating or not but it’s worth remembering that with Apple anything can put the company’s share price into a tailspin just as quickly. The memory is still vivid in my head as though it happened yesterday and it wasn’t pleasant at all for Apple shareholders who truly believed Apple was solid as a rock.
Painful memories. There are a few differences today: stock buybacks, margin stabilization, EPS increases and the end of overly optimistic estimates based on historical sandbagging. In addition, a major new market has recently been added – China Mobile and new product categories will soon be added to the lineup.
And probably less short-selling as well. AAPL is now more of an actual investment than a trade.
Currently, there is 1.73 percent shares short. I remember seeing something like 40 million in April 2013 (there could of been more earlier). At 920 million or so float at that time this calculates to about 4.3 percent.
Since the split there are less shares traded on a daily basis comparing apples to apples (multiplying current shares traded by 7). And according to barcharts.com AAPL is not in the top 100 traded stocks by liquidity. But, I think there is still a decent amount of options traded.
The company’s market “value” is equal to stock price times the number of shares outstanding. That’s how the “$602.26 billion” number is derived.
NOTE: This comment was a reply to a comment, which disappeared in the time it took to me to right the comment. 🙂
Rapidly disappearing comments point to the existence of an unconstrained nannybot, which accounts for the pablumisation of MDN ever since the vulgarity/PC wars. For details consult Orwell 1984.
“pablumisation ”
cool phrase
i think you should specify the real networks market value in billions to make it clear that it is almost a rounding error.
FYI, Samsung’s market cap is currently $178B.
Apple has about $136B in cash and marketable securities.
Hmmm.
3 days in a row. Let’s go for 4 tomorrow!
The last eight Friday’s have closed higher. Hopefully tomorrow it’s more than $0.01.
How many times is Apple Inc the value of Dell ? Hey Mickey only you can tell us since you made it private again.
