. Vestile au propulsat valoarea companiei la peste 500 de miliarde de dolari si in momentul de fata o singura actiune a Apple costa 542$ pe bursa americana. Intrebat de cei de la CNBC daca o actiune a companiei Apple ar putea valora vreodata 1000$, Steve Wozniak(co-fondatorul Apple) a declarat ca este increzator in posibilitatea infaptuirii acestui lucru in principal din cauza modului in care este construita Apple.You know, people talk about $1,000 stock price… you know, at first you want to doubt it but I actually believe that and I don’t really follow stock markets. Apple is on such a winning course because it’s encapsulated all of its different big products that I mentioned, they all work together so well that you are in a course that if you buy a product from another company it doesn’t really do as much as one from Apple does. So Apple has a large room for growth. Apple has that much growth left because we’re talking something like Apple TV that works with all these other great, great companies and products all in the same sphere. It’s not like a side project ‘we’re going to start a TV company’. No, we’re going to start TV within the whole Apple world. Assuming that we are going to, I don’t know
Wozniak vede Apple ca o suma a mai multor companii: iTunes, diviziile de Mac/iPhone/iPad/iPod-uri, etc, si considera ca acest model de business ofera companiei Apple foarte mult potential de crestere. El crede ca Apple va lansa un televizor in viitorul apropiat si il va integra in ecosistemul sau iar asta o va ajuta sa creasca pe bursele americane. Steve Wozniak vede succesul companiei Apple ca pe o reusita a lui Steve Jobs care a gandit acest ecosistem in care regasim toate produsele companiei, ecosistem care produce peste 100 de miliarde de dolari anual si a transforma Apple intr-una dintre cele mai populare companii de pe glob.
Apple este cea de-a sasea companie din istorie care a reusit sa depaseasca bariera de 500 de miliarde de dolari in ceea ce priveste valoarea capitalizarii bursiere.
