Apple Now Worth More Than Google


Digital Daily notes that Apple's market capitalization at $159.37 billion is now worth more than Google's which is at $157.56 billion. Apple's market cap first exceeded $100 billion in May of 2007. Apple was included into the S&P 100 index at that time. For interest, MacDailyNews compiled a list of the market values of other notable companies:

- Microsoft (MSFT) - $255,648,204,000

- IBM (IBM) - $169,964,678,000

- Apple (AAPL) - $157,012,662,240

- Google (GOOG) - $156,392,862,560

- Cisco (CSCO) - $142,125,692,160

- Intel (INTC) - $135,658,860,000

- Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) - $111,866,423,760

- Nokia (NOK) - $97,746,699,520

- Research In Motion (RIMM) - $71,143,935,000

- Disney (DIS) - $59,257,501,500

- Dell (DELL) - $50,483,256,060

The practical significance of this ranking of market cap is little, but does always revive a famous comment by Michael Dell in 1997 when asked about what he would do to fix the then money-losing Apple:

Yo son! Glad to see you posting. I was sure you were out having a heart attack after hearing this news.

Apple invented the point-and-click OS, but Microsoft came out of left field, "borrowed" their idea and served it to the masses... cheaply. Apple should even be worth more than Microsoft, but they fucked up big time.

Apple "borrowed" from PARC. I agree though.... Apple, just like IBM, didn't see the value in the OS...both only saw the value in the hardware.....thus... leaving the space for Microsoft to dominate

Wrong chief

Xerox invented point and click or GUI OS interface

Apple then stole it from Xerox and were sued

20-25 years is forever?

I'm a little surprised at the valuation, because I can tell you with certainty Google's products are used by more people everyday than people buying/using Apple products.

But it is what it is... that's just market valuations. Market valuations after the fundamental analysis, have very little to do with anything in reality.

Whats interesting is Apple is selling a product, mostly retail products and music.

What is Google selling again???

I would tell you to google it, but fuckit

http://www.google.com/services/

and if that's not enough, lets see what else could be in the works

And of course, Android drops at the end of this year (can't wait). Google is selling nothing but services, primarily web based. Apple makes their money off of selling hardware..not even computer hardware at this point, it is primarily iPods.

Apple BARELY makes money on Itunes after you factor in their operating and GS&A cost. And I mean, BARELY.


Google, do your research my man. They're more than just a search engine.
There's a reason why they've made BILLIONS in just 10 short years

In in 1 more year give of take - one word, "Android." Gonna change the game. It will do to Mobile Phones what Windows did to Personal Computers.


Then in 2 more years - "Google Gears". Gonna change the search game.


There's a reason why Google is building THIS:

After reading that NY Times article, Google maybe the real Skynet.

ok, I was making an odd comment. I know Google sells services and other small stuff (software, other products). It just amazes me that Google is worth that much and doesn't sell anything in a retail store.

Retailing is a thing of the past.

Amazon, Ebay and Google are the future

They both borrowed the idea and the technology from Xerox.

Well, you also have to remember how many data centers google has. They have literally dozens of locations filled with servers and storage equiptment. I'm not sure how much all of that would be worth, but considering that they have to have the infrastructure to support the worlds largest, most advanced search engine, it has to be alot.

Then there's all that dark fiber they bought up a while back (remember they were trying to bring free internet access primarily via wifi) to every city across the country), their vehicles used for mapping, etc. I'm sure this probably only makes up a small part of their valuation, but they do have some physical assets that are worth alot.

Itunes is a loss leader. Apples makes a fortune on Ipods, Iphones, macs, etc. They have extremely high margins and are selling millions of each every quarter and having RECORD revenue and income every quarter. They also have over 20 Billion dollars in cash/equities as well. Apple is a cash register right now and looks to be no end in sight... just like Google..
