The Shift in Tech Profitability
Recent analysis of major technology companies reveals a significant shift in profitability, particularly concerning Apple. Once a leader in profits, Apple now ranks lowest among the big six tech companies, trailing behind rivals like Alphabet and Microsoft. Over the past two years, while other companies such as NVIDIA and Meta have seen profit increases exceeding 200%, Apple's profit has declined by nearly 30%. This situation prompts investors to reconsider their perspectives on visible giants like Apple, as previous narratives about their dominance may need reevaluation.
