For reasons I don’t understand, they again got Exxon’s market cap wrong. It closed at $420 billion. Why does MDN do this time after time? What purpose does it serve. They have to know they get it wrong. Apple is surely doing well enough for them to not trivialize the difference between them and Exxon. After all, everyone else knows the correct number.
The market value numbers are the same as those on the Stocks app …
Bloomberg app: APPL 399.9, XOM 414.37
He could be getting his numbers through LARD, or some other financial interloper, or perhaps he’s misapplying TROUT.
Not very difficult to understand.
If you simply click the XOM link supplied by MDN, it goes to Yahoo Finance which currently reports Exxon’s market cap is $414.18B.
Please let us all know where you are getting the $420 billion from. If you look at some of the other posts, you will see that none of them list XOM that high. Google finance ( http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:XOM ) lists it as 414.37B.
Didja think to check their source?
According to Yahoo, Exxon’s market cap is slightly over $414B, and Its “Enterprise Value” is ~$420B.
Enterprise Value is (again according to Yahoo) Market Cap + Total Debt – Total Cash & Short Term Investments.
However, some sources claim XOM has 4.86 Billion shares outstanding. 4.86 x 86.45 (yesterday’s close) = ~420. But the number of shares is not always constant and that number may be outdated.
IN the end, of course, it doesn’t really matter. This is not sports. Apple doesn’t “win the championship” if it passes Exxon. Exxon doesn’t care one whit what Apple’s market cap is.
Bang Zoom To The Moon!
Ahhh, it never gets old.
How about tracking an equivalent worth for Samdung, just for fun?
Serious AAPL investor since 1988. That said, yesterday and today’s run up just paid for my new SUV! (American made, glad to say.)
You can go to CNN Marketwatch. In addition, my Scottrade account shows the higher number. They care calculating it using different amounts of shares.
Thanks for the information. To me it hardly seems fair to blame MDN for using numbers that someone else provides. You might have a good reason for going with the numbers that a particular site uses over another. It would be useful to suggest using numbers from a different source, and your reasons behind them. I just looked up the numbers from six different sites, and there was quite a variety. One thing that was reasonably consistent was that whenever XOM’s numbers were higher, so were AAPL’s.
Here is what I saw (As of 4:00 pm MST):
Google: AAPL – $398.82B; XOM – $414.37B
CNNMoney: AAPL – $400.0B; XOM – $420.3B
Yahoo: AAPL – $398.82B; XOM – $414.37B
MarketWatch: AAPL – $391.32B; XOM – $406.85B
TheStockMarketWatch: AAPL – $399.99B; XOM – $414.37B
Scottrade: AAPL – $400.0B; XOM – $414.4B
(Yes, the quote I got from Scottrade for XOM was lower than $420B: http://research.scottrade.com/qnr/public/Stocks/Snapshot?symbol=xom )
Well, another day, another milestone.
AAPL briefly touched $400B in market cap today.
$163B more than MSFT.
Nearly 14x DELL.
And it is yet to switch into top gear.
Oh BOY!!! INTEL beat earning by 8 cents – given the NPD numbers showing PC decline and Apple growth in computers – Apple is going to FREAKING KILL the Mac estimates tuesday. Were it not for Apple, Intel would have missed.
