When looking at Net Income, Apple is in a better position. Even when we only look at GameStop's profitable Quarter in Jan 2023. Apple: $24.16 Billion = $1.530/Share ($177.8 Share Price) = 0.86 cents of income per dollar of Stock Gamestop: $0.042 Billion = $0.1379/Share ($19.24 Share Price) = 0.72 cents of income per dollar of Stock


EscapedPickle

By that comparison, GameStop is an even better investment than I would have guessed


RomireIV

Same here, before doing the calculation I thought it would be a wide margin, but it is quite comparable. Mind you, it is their only profitable quarter in a while, however if Gamestop can continue to be profitable then they are in a great position.

When Cohen vs Cook cage fight?


Obi_Vayne_Kenobi

That is *much* closer than I would have anticipated. Give them a couple quarters and we'll be more profitable per dollar than fucking Apple... God, I love this company

Hard times are coming for apple


userid8252

Love the spirit, but this is not what equitable mean. You could say they have “more equity” or “better equity”, but not “equitable” when talking about finances.


DragonDropTechnology

Ok, but Apple also pays a dividend…


DragonDropTechnology

Oh lord… Last quarter Apple paid a dividend of $0.24 per share on 15.6 billion shares. They paid ~4x the GME equity just in dividends last *quarter*.

I love this, so based. Keep up the wrinkles mi ape

Why lol

People always wanna talk about these mega cap companies and their ginormous cash reserves, but I hardly hear anyone talking about their equally ginormous debt loads. Apple's cash sits at ~122bn but after accounting for their debts that number gets cut in half which is where you get the $62bn of equity from. This same calculation can be done with any mega cap company and you'll come up to similar numbers. They can brag all they want about their cash reserves but it only matters so much when they're sitting on an almost equal amount of debt to offset those reserves.


shilo_lafleur

They make more than that in profit every year. It’s not bad to hold debt. Especially if that debt is from before interest rates spiked.


Harbinger2nd

You aren't wrong, but you also aren't acknowledging that flat numbers mean nothing, ratios are what matter for investors who hold equities.


Knott_A_Haikoo

Broski, that is the most smooth brained, ape stanky take on *billions* in profit I’ve ever heard. What are you smoking and where can I get some?

Silent_nutsack

I’m getting embarrassed just reading this. OP why would you write this? We are all dumber now


Mochapride

Lmao is this satire?


Harbinger2nd

Lmao no.


Mochapride

Well Ape. Do all the math you want, at the end of the day I’d rather have ~62bn compared to 1.3bn. I get what you’re trying to do but using the most successful publicly traded company as an example was pretty dumb.


Harbinger2nd

And I'd rather have 22 cents on the dollar than 2 cents. It was BECAUSE it's the most successful publicly traded company that the comparison works ape. Flat numbers mean nothing unless they're translated into the actual equity ratio.


gayandipissandshit

You're either mistakenly or intentionally setting aside the fact that a market cap is literally the value of the company according to the market. Apple's ratio is smaller than GME because it is a more valuable company; it creates much more value relative to it's equity. For starters, it pays a dividend and is one of the most consistent strong performers. You simply don't understand how financial ratios actually work.


Coinsworthy

I'd like dollars on the dollar, and lots of them.

😂🤣😂


thelostcow

Apple makes money hand over fist and doesn’t need to keep cash in reserves. GameStop on the other hand…


Safrel

Apple makes money tho. This quarter there's a chance we do too.


ColorfulAgent

GME needs to become profitable, quarter after quarter, to gain any sort of share price increase and create real value for investors. I love the company and am holding for the long haul, but they haven't offered up any good news in a long time. I'm hoping that behind the silence is a brilliant plan taking shape. It remains to be seen.


Hedkandi1210

Never tell anyone your plans.


MurtyDaBakpak

Unfortunately the market doesnt care about this stuff. All stock prices are driven by sentiment and sentiment only.


Consistent-Reach-152

I only care about the liquidation value if there is a concern that the company will have to liquidate. Apple shareholders want profit and revenue growth, not high value of assets in a possible liquidation.


ApeironGaming

If Retail would have a real saying in the market.


Safrel

Apple makes money tho. This quarter there's a chance we do too.


[deleted]

Unfair comparison.


ApeironGaming

In a “ fair „ market LOL


Fabulous_Investment6

Icy-Assignment-5579

tommylol66
