Couple hundred - bought a long time ago. Will be interesting to see how his support is this year with all the issues they have been having and stagnant or dropping iPhone and Mac sales.
Mac just set a new revenue record and iPhone issues were mainly in China.
The stock had recovered some and they posted strong earnings. Non-iPhone business are growing at almost 20% and are over $100B in revenue.
Huge buyback.
I think you should re-evaluate your opinion on Cook and the company’s performance.
It means stock holders can rub in your faces that their stock went up. It hardly means anything for customers otherwise.
Let actions speak louder than words.
True, but Apple is likely going to have huge growth in their services year over year. More money from their current userbase is what Wall Street wants.
correct me if I'm wrong but I once heard that apple was a trillion dollar company
so I really don't understand all the excitement and all the hype
yes they might have surpassed Microsoft and amazon and they have reclaimed their title but they are under the trillion dollar number that apple once reached
so how is all this an a accomplishment
????
there is only one possible explanation = media hype

Share prices fluctuate. Five weeks ago, the company’s market cap was about $675 billion. Now it’s around $825 billion. So they’ve clawed their way almost halfway back to that trillion dollar valuation.
At this rate, they’ll be back over a trillion in about six weeks. Or it could be $500 million, if the stock drops from its current $174 to around $106
If you don't make products that people want, nobody buys them and share prices go down. Millions own both Apple products and Apple stock. Personally, I use my quarterly Apple dividend to pay for any Apple products I buy so Apple is paying me to buy their devices, computers and services! What a concept.
Market cap represents the sum of the investments in Apple held by its owners, the shareholders. (You probably know that.) But of course Apple does have plenty of cash of its own
However, it appears Apple intends to use Intel’s ninth gen CPUs, and most of the ones needed for the iMac lineup haven’t been released yet, due to production capacity issues. Intel expects to resolve their supply problems by June.
Also likely to be included in the 2019 iMac is AMD’s new Navi GPU, fabbed using TSMC’s 7nm process. It should bring a significant performance increase. Some expect a re-design as well, which will be welcomed by those who complain about the large bezels. I’d expect improvements in the cooling system as well.
Mac revenue always gets a boost during release quarters, and Apple would like nothing more than to book that revenue bump. But they’re patient enough to wait for the chips they want. Customers are more than ready though; many no doubt expected the typical yearly refresh towards the middle/end of last year, and want them released ASAP!

I think we're going to look at this and say that AAPL was the one stock that kept going because no one else wanted to invest in anything else, and they had to invest *somewhere*. Remember that 7:1 split a while ago?
Please tell me when this has not been the case or a complaint around here? I will answer that. Never.

Nope. Negativity is what makes people excited around here.
They make really nice products but the prices have really become insane atleast outside usa, for example the xs max 256gb verson cost 1700 dollar here and a 15' i7 macbook pro with vega 20 and 1tb drive upgrades us and 32gb ram, which makes it decently specced is 49500 dollar..But, wait. That can't be. Apple is failing, Tim is a dummy that doesn't know how to run a company. They make shoddy products and the pricces prices are insane. Apple will go out of business any day now. Oh wait, that's just stupid comments from MR. I guess the real world is a lot different than that
Mac set a new revenue record with increasing prices that have many re-evaluating the machines. Mac laptops have bad keyboards. You know it's bad when even the die hard Mac Apologists say how bad they are. Hell, even the QC of the new Macbooks is pretty bad. People wanted touchscreens and something revolutionary and we got a stupid touchbar that even the Apologists say is pointless. I can buy just as capable of a PC as a Macbook Air for 1/2 to 2/3 the price. It wasn't that way. I was a die hard Mac fan and I went PC and have a hard time saying "get a Mac" now.
iPhone sales are flattening out and once again high prices for few new features. I think that is one of the reasons Apple stopped reporting sales figures. People are holding on to the older models longer and when they see the insane price they may look elsewhere. I think that is happening - just look at the latest IDC or Gartner Smartphone #'s.
iPad is a debacle - insane prices and it's just a big iPhone.
Cook was handed the roadmap for Apple from Steve. Stock was already on n upward swing when Steve was at the helm. Tim could have done pretty much nothing and had these #'s. The momentum was there, the designs were there it just needed execution. But Tim has no vision - he has no idea of the next big thing and how to get Apple there. He's following the same path that nearly killed Apple in the 90's. More models, higher prices, and removing features only to be added back at extra cost.
Sorry, no - that's not the leader Apple needs. They need a product guy, not a numbers guy.
