August 1, 2018, pre-pandemic: CNBC looking for AAPL to have a market cap of $1 trillion.
at the time: p/e, 19; if AAPL goes to $203 / share = $1 trillion market cap

August 2, 2018, one day later: Apple just hit a $1 trillion market cap -- first publicly traded traded US company to reach that milestone.

August 19, 2020, pandemic; market cap, $1.991 trillion; needs to hit $467.30 for $2 trillion market cap; outstanding shares: 4.28 billion

December 10, 2021, pandemic waning: at the close, AAPL market cap, $2.944 trillion. Trading at $179. P/E - 30.

December 31, 2021, pandemic coming to an end: market cap $2.9 trillion; $180 / share x 16.32 billion shares = $2.9 trillion. 

January 23, 2022: market cap at $2.996; $180.89. CNBC reports AAPL hit $3 trillion market cap.

March 17, 2022: market cap at $2.6 trillion.

December 1, 2023: So, where are we today --

  • trading at $191.30
  • P/E: 31.15
  • shares outstanding: 15.55 billion
  • market cap: $2.974 trillion
  • back of the envelope:
    • $3 trillion / 15.55 billion = $192.93 / share.
    • $192.93 - $191.30 = $1.63.  1.63 / 191.30 ---> 0.0852%.
