Apple Once Again Worth More Than Dell

Dells PE: 17.49
Apples PE: 36.08

Apple is overvalued for as far as PE is concerned, but hopefully they'll continue this upward trend and justify it. :D

Don't look at trailing PE -- this is history. Look at forward PE, which is the future. Apple is growing more quickly than Dell, so a higher trailing PE is justified.
 
eeeeuuuuugh!

Crikey,

John :p~~~~~

smoooooth. Good news though, because hopefully, people will take a lot more interest in Apple, buy their products, bump stock prices up, Apple worth more, invests more money into the company. Its a beautiful cycle :eek:

From Yahoo! Finance:

Forward P/E
AAPL: 27.68
DELL: 13.51

Trailing P/E
AAPL: 36.04
DELL: 17.50

What's really interesting is a company like Genentech:
Trailing P/E: 58.10...seems way overpriced
Forward P/E: 29.80...much more reasonable

Even the analysts are saying to sell F and GM...that's when you know things are really bad and only going to get worse.

yeah, well I trust MacRumors before I take an analyst word. while we are one the Market Cap number, little if any comparison here:

AAPL = 60B
GM = 13B
F = 12B (I'm think at least I'm close here)

One thing for sure, it takes lots of money to move a 60B stock than it does to move a 13B stock.

Exactly. If trailing PE was so important, we'd all be investing in banks and heavy industries, where PEs in the teens and even single-digits can be found.

Man when I saw the picture on the first page I was thinking someone photoshop'ed out a burger in his hands, haha. And now you have added it back. That's great.
 
Apple is doing so well these days...mainly due to the iPod explosion, but the cool new Mac hardware and OS X have helped too.

I find it part funny and part frustrating that all the tech pundits still comment on what Apple needs to do. "They need to switch to Windows", "They need to sell OS X for any box", etc.

Apple is the leader in home-based multimedia. I won't even say computing becuase what Apple does is so much more than that. I hope they take some cash and purchase TiVo, then sign a nice big deal with Comcast and/or Directv to really take over the living room.

Ya, I was a little off. I should read the entire post before I open my big mouth next time. :eek:

But I think the two are related in a smaller, less significant way. More money should still mean they can afford to charge less, right? :confused:

That smaller is an overly modest statement. The right relation is "freaking" zero. By your argument MSFT should give windows away for free!!:eek:
 
....LOL... and the only thing that keeps coming to my mind is when Michael Dell said that Steve Jobs should sell the company and give its proceeds to its employees back in the mid-late nineties..... LOL LOL LOL ...ROFL!!! Michael Dell has got to feel like an idiot now!

Steve Jobs is a true visionary, fighter, and leader!

Just a small but important correction, Dell said that Apple should be shut down and the money given back to shareholders (ie, investors)--not employees. Public companies don't answer to their employees, they answer to the stock holders.

holy crap... i just found a video of him talking to a crowd while clapping and saying "developers, developers, developers, developers..." most discusting thing i've ever seen in my life.

...i was afraid someone would call me crazy, but since you're with me on this, i must stress how scary ugly grotesque and ultimately tragic is that performance of Ballmer(de) among others...

i won't say no more; some things should fade unnoticed for the sake of humanity...
