No. Stock value represents the expectation of the sum of all future dividends, not current company capital.
I'm pretty sure that you're a less significant contributor than Tim Cook.
That’s only because you don’t gain your company billions of profit the rest of the time.
That would be a price increase of $57.65 per unit, by my math. Barely worth talking about.
So that we can usher in the Jeff Williams era sooner? A man with the persona equivalent to wet cardboard. A hard pass on that.
While EUROPE does account for 30% of their revenue, that includes ALL of Middle East, non EU countries such as UK, Norway, Switzerland etc, Turkey and so on. I wouldn’t be surprised if EU accounted for less than 15pc since Android is considerably more popular in European Union than iOS, with Android phones being sometimes as much as 10x as popular as iPhones.
I really don't get this.....besides the lawyers, who always win...how does this benefit me as a shareholder back in 2018-19 (and still am one)?
Is that your final verdict?
You realize this was from FIVE YEARS ago, right? Apple is very strong and profitable. Shareholders are just _____ ______ (you fill in the blanks) when they can't get unlimited earnings from Apple's hard work year after year. Now if shareholders actually had to earn (sow) what they reap, that would change things in a hurry.
I wish Apple would go private to eliminate this nonsense.
Tim's not responsible for the emotion-driven decisions of stock holders. He shouldn't be held responsible for any drastic fluctuations. People are responsible for their own decisions. In the stock market, isn't the "long road" the better play?
Depends on how you measure Tim Cook's performance. . . in the year ending 2011, total sales was $100B. Most recent revenue figures show sales of $385.7B.

Even though I think Apple did no wrongdoing, it's hard to imagine they'd spend more than half a billion on legal fees right? I also wonder if they're afraid discovery would reveal anything that could negatively impact their reputation, even if it's legal.
How long do we give Tim Cook? It seems like he's taking Apple through some rough patches lately... declining demand in china has been clear for a while now, cancelled Apple Car, cancelled Mini-LED Watch, the Watch patent debacle, NO iPads all 2023, there just seems to be a lot not going well right now. How long are they going to keep him for?
When your big, everyone figures they can get a piece of you.
Apple isn’t spending more money on legal fees/fines than any of the other ultra large companies.
