As of December 2015, Apple is no longer the world’s leading corporation in terms of market capitalization. The thing is that at the end of last year, Apple yielded its leadership to Alphabet (which owns Google).
The international expert community says that even though Apple is still number one in market cap with $535 billion against Alphabet’s $495 billion, if to consider the debts owed by both corporations, the actual market caps are as this: Alphabet - $420 billion, Apple - $393 billion, which makes Alphabet $27 billion more expensive than Apple.
At the same time, Masterforex-V Academy experts say that Apple’s stock price is far from being stable while international experts make ambiguous forecasts. While some Wall Street traders expect a rally from $100 per share all the way up to $143 per share, their adversaries expect the Apple stock to plunge down to $85 per share. The bearish forecast is backed by the statement that the global shipments of iPhones are going to shrink due to the fact that the global economy is slowing down and fewer people can now afford such costly mobile devices.
It is interesting to note that on January 7, Apple saw its stock depreciate below $100 per share, which happened for the first time since October 2014. Meanwhile, Google is busy conducting deep restructuring started in mid 2015. Google announced the creation of a new marketing holding named Alphabet Inc. Google owns YouTube, Android and internet projects, Alphabet Inc. is going to dive deep into research and investment activities.
