Back in 2010, Kyle Conroy wrote a blog post titled "What If I Would rather Buy Apple Stock?"
“Now Apple shares have reached an all-time high. Their cost has increased 40 times compared to what it was 7 years ago. So how much would you make today if you invested in buying Apple stock instead of their products? Check out the table below. "
Conroy updated this post until April 1, 2012. At that time, my first Apple computer (a 2003 iBook with a 12-inch display), which cost me $ 1,099 on October 22, 2003), would have cost $ 57,900. Today that amount would increase to $ 311,973.
This meme is remembered every time Apple stock hits another all-time high, considering the cost of purchasing PA Semi in 2008, when the company spent just $ 278 million to acquire the human resources and intelligence fund that became the basis for the A-series chipsets used for all products in the iPhone and iPad line since 2010 (and there will be a Mac this year that will also use this chipset). The company plans to supply the rest of its product lines with its own chipsets over the next two years.
Apple's $ 278 million shares in 2008 will be worth about $ 5.5 billion today, which is still a net benefit and a reminder that there is not always a direct relationship between acquisition size and impact.
