Apple VS Google in economic data
Apple and Google are already a few years fighting for world supremacy of consumer technology. Their operating systems dominate the market for mobile and tablets, and in terms of sales and value of their products already said pretty much everything. Today we will talk about the real value of the companies and on the overall measure both its position and its success or failure.
The vast majority of people who follow the latest technological, and read so many news both Google and Apple are interested in technological warfare. Which of the two do get the best screens, the finest mobile, those with better battery and especially who gets to have the best software in the devices. Rivers of ink have been written about his fight on maps, on sales of each and their respective trade policy with respect to the price and quality of their products.
But shareholders, who are played for real money when a company does poorly or well, are indicative that usually give more accurate the assessment.
It is true that Google sells more smartphones than Apple, but this does not indicate that the Korean company has better health than his rival California. In fact the battle on Wall Street is leaning toward Apple.
The Cupertino went public on December 12, 1980. That day each share was sold for $ 22. Those who invested in the long run that time became one of the best business in Wall Street history. Today, if you eliminate the three divisions of Apple shares, those shares are trading at $ 529.69, an increase of 19,150%.
Google went public instead much later, as it is a younger company. The Mountain View sold its action the first day, August 25, 2004, to $ 85. Those shares are now worth $ 702.70, representing an increase of 725%.
As we see today, Google stock is more expensive than Apple, although this is not the only one that investors use when measuring the ability of each to generate money. In fact, this year, Apple's shareholders have been on top. Despite the 30% drop in Apple's stock from its highest point, still have a gain of 39% for the end of 2012. Meanwhile, the Google brand in 2012 has a gain of 9%.
To these data we can add that Apple is by far the world's most valuable company, worth almost 500 billion dollars. That's more than twice the valuation of 230 billion dollars from Google. In addition, the Cupertino trading at 44.2 times its profits per share, excluding special items, the company said S & P Capital IQ. Correspondingly, the Google brand listed on 32 times.
For all that Apple continues to lead, because it is still very profitable for everyone to invest in it, because it is a safe bet. In fact, Apple's earnings to give short-term investors 29.1 billion dollars and 92 billion additional dollars in long-term investments, virtually impossible for another company.
So, ignoring those who are risking their money, we can see that Apple still has an iron, and it is quite possible that as a result continue to lead the technology market for long.
