It’s been around decade Apple Inc. (AAPL) that
is the envy of utmost corporate officials. In 2003, Apple revenue grew up at an
average rate of 38.1%, growth around $158.5 billion after
$ 6.2 Billion. Apple Inc., earning per share $44.15
from $0.10 over the same period-a tremendous annual growth rate 83.8%.Concurrently
, Apple’s share price has grown up from $ 9.45 to $557 and this astonishing share
price appreciation lifted Apple’s market capitalization up to $515Billion from $6.9 Billion.
Apple
Inc. products Include iPhone, iPad, iPod and Mac. Although, it hasn’t lose
in many years but its products continue to be in growing stage with customers
today. Company’s insistent success has a thought that it is the first company
to be demanded a trillion dollar market capitalization.
Cisco System and Microsoft
in late 1999 were at the same trillion dollars position when their market
capitalization was around $500 Billion and Latter’s proposed $600Billion.Both
companies Cisco and Microsoft market capitalization are now not that much as it
used to be i.e $105 Billion and $230 Billion respectively.
History mentioned that the example of
technological stocks is uncertain but tech sector competition is aggressive, and
customer lethargy is the justifying aspect. The mini iPad and iPhone 5 are
tremendous products for sure but even that they are lack with the previous
Apple releases product.
Around the corner the one another company
that is ExxonMobil, whose market capitalization is around $411 and it is second
after Apple. ExxonMobil Corp -
(XOM) which tracks Apple for $100Billion, but it seems like a race of tortoise
and hare race. Here Hare represents often as a technology and Tortoise
represents cohesive energy which is continually moving forward.
ExxonMobil is ranked as
number one in integrated energy and it rarely retreats, and quickly standardized
and inclining in upward direction. ExxonMobil revenue from 2002 to 2011 has
grown at an average annual rate of 8.2% and its EPS growth rate is around 18%
and its market capitalization growth rate is 5%. These growing rate are not
that impressive in contrast with Apple’s but comparatively ExxonMobil generated around
$486 Billion annual revenue which has been three time Apple’s annual revenue. Moreover,
ExxonMobil is a biggest organization.
ExxonMobil could be the
most ultimate dividend growth company. Since past 30 years , ExxonMobil’s
dividend has grew up at an average annual rate of 6% and in past 10 years the average
rate has flew up to 7.2%.In 2011 it paid
to its stake holder around 36% of its free cash flow. Dividend growth is the
main factor of this company; share price is nearly increased multiple times in
past years.
As far as its market
position is concern in integrated energy sector ExxonMobil is growing fast and
recommended as far as its revenue is concern during past years.
