Steve Jobs vs Tim Cook: Apple's Market Cap Growth
Here’s the best way to visualise 0 to 1 and then 1 to $4.6 trillion.
That is the story of Apple's last three decades, and today it closes a chapter. Tim Cook has officially stepped down as CEO after 15 remarkable years.
Here's how Apple's market cap under Steve Jobs vs Tim Cook actually looked.
He took over from Steve Jobs in August 2011, when Apple's market cap stood at $347 billion. Many doubted anyone could fill those shoes. Cook did not just fill them, he built an entirely new legacy.
Under his leadership Apple's market cap grew by 825%, turning it into one of the most valuable companies the world has ever seen at $4.6 trillion as of today.
Where Jobs built the products that changed how we live, Cook built the machine that scaled them to every corner of the planet. Services, supply chain mastery, privacy as a brand promise, and quiet confidence through countless storms.
Fifteen years of steady hands at the wheel of the world's most scrutinized company.
Apple's next chapter begins now.
