Apple is worth more than Google and Microsoft together

My colleague Peter Lattman tweeted that the upsurge of Apple on Thursday means that the market value of the apple company was higher than the combined cost of Microsoft and Google. Details in the morning post at Apple Instider.

Several comparisons under the cut.

With a market value of about $ 460 billion, Apple is worth more than Google, Goldmans Sachs, General Motors, Ford and Boeing combined.

Apple now costs almost twice as much Microsoft (about $ 258 billion) and slightly more than 2 times more than Google with its $ 198 billion.

It also costs more than double than General Electric (about $ 202 billion), IBM (≈ $ 225 billion) or Wal-Mart ($ 212 billion).

Apple takes 35 places in the Fortune 500 ranking, which is based on annual income — eight times more than Boeing, which is a little lower with ≈ $ 56.6 billion. Also, its value is 20 times more than the company above - Medco Health Solutions with a price of $ 23.4 billion.

Apple shares closed at 3.5 percent on Thursday with a price of $ 493.17.

Ps. At the time of writing, the share price is $ 494.51
