Back in March, Microsoft was about $50 billion forward of Apple in market place cap.

The pattern was apparent: I predicted that Apple would pass Microsoft, it absolutely was only a issue of when.
Not even I assumed it would be this soon.
Today, Apple has just passed Microsoft in market cap. Now, the stocks have been fluctuating quite a bit, so this could adjust before the marketplace closes. But as of correct now, Apple is forward, and has become for your previous handful of minutes.
Some publications documented this milestone occurred again in April, but that was a somewhat diverse metric. That was the market cap around the S&P 500, which uses float-adjusted numbers. Today’s milestone is straight-up marketplace cap: numbers of shares outstanding multiplied by share price.
Of course, just how much this number means is a matter of debate. The truth is that it really doesn’t mean that much in terms how strong or weak a company is from a financial perspective. But it is a good indicator of trends, and obviously stock performance. That pattern is obviously that above the previous five years or so, Apple has been destroying Microsoft is gaining stock price.
Over those past five years, Microsoft’s stock has been largely stagnant: it’s up about 4%. Apple’s stock,Microsoft Office 2007, meanwhile,Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, is up some 550% more than that same time frame.
