Apple stock grew 2322.5% during Tim Cook's tenure from 08/24/2011 to 04/20/2026. CAGR approximately 24.29% per annum. Pretty incredible.

To steal from Twitter:

"Tim Cook took Apple from $350B to $4T"

So? That's a 11X market cap increase. In the same time, MSFT saw a 14X increase, Google saw a 20X increase, Amazon did 28X, Facebook did 35X. We're not even going to talk about NVidia.

Cook led Apple through a period where every tech company expanded. Yay for him?

Pretty easy when you just buy back your own stock with all your profit like Warren Buffet told you to. Incredible.
