Steve celebrates as Apple passes Dell in company value

January 16, 2006


Last Friday, Apple reached a company value of $72.13 billion, where Dell had a company value of $71.97 billion. The ironic thing is that Michael Dell suggested that Apple should break up and give all money back to shareholders. But now, after 8 years, Apple has exceeded Dell’s company value. Steve sent out an email to all of his employees celebrating the accomplishment:

Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn’t perfect at predicting the future. Based on today’s stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today. Steve.
