Remarkableriots Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/microsoft-tops-apple-to-become-most-valuable-company-in-us/ar-BBQjFyZ?ocid=AMZN Quote Microsoft is the most valuable publicly traded U.S. company, surpassing Apple for the title. Microsoft passed Apple in market cap again during intraday trading Friday, after jockeying for the top spot for most of the week. Microsoft surpassed Apple for seconds or minutes at a time all week, but Apple consistently beat out Microsoft in market valuation at market close. At Friday's close, Microsoft held an implied market valuation of $851.2 billion, based on an outstanding share count of 7,676,218,736 shares as of Oct. 19, according to the company's most recent SEC filing. Apple's market valuation, based on an outstanding share count of 4,745,398,000 shares as of October 26, 2018, lagged just behind at $847.4 billion.

CitizenVectron Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 MS is a totally different company than they were in the 90s/00s. We use them for everything in my school division and they are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I still don't especially care for Windows (though it's better), nor Office, but MS is currently one of my favorite of the big tech companies. The rest feel like they're in a race to be the most evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 If Apple used pretty much anything other than objective C and didn’t force developers to funnel everything through Xcode their market cap would be twice as big C# and Visual Studio are MS’s biggest assets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxFan9 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 People have been hesitant to buy the new iPhones because they want something familiar and apple’s 3 new phones don’t have a home button. Wall Street also doesn’t like that they won’t be reporting sales numbers on phones anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 With the sheer diversity of MS's product offerings, the company SHOULD be more valuable than its more narrowly-focused competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diversity of shit is still shit. MS is the perfect example of the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
