O sucesso de vendas dos aparelhos eletrnônicos da Apple levou o preço das ações acima de 500 dólares,tornando-se assim a maior empresa dos EUA, com uma capitalização de mercado de 475 bilhões de dólares. Não obstante, seu tamanho gigantesco torna "mais complicado" a análise econômico-financeira de outras empresas norte-americanas, que compõe o S&P 500. Segundo o WSJ:
While most U.S. companies have struggled to meet earnings expectations, the Cupertino, Calif.-based maker of iPads and iPhones has surpassed even the most bullish of expectations, reporting $13.1 billion in profits during the fiscal 2012 first quarter that ended Dec. 31, more than double that of a year earlier. Revenue soared 73% to $46.3 billion. Those earnings account for about 6% of the S&P 500′s fourth-quarter earnings, according to S&P Indices, making Apple the biggest earnings contributor to the S&P 500.”
