Apple’s stock has seen incredible growth this year. The stock got off to a great start on news of all-time record earnings from the final quarter of last year, and continued to increase, exceeding the $500 milestone, and most recently having exceeded $600 for the first time ever.
As TechCrunch notes, Apple’s stock has performed so well that it has gained nearly $200 per share since the beginning of the year, up over nearly 50% from the $405.00 it rested at on December 30th. With Apple’s stock continuing to perform like crazy, this is likely only the tip of the iceberg of Apple’s potential for the year.
Apple remains the most valuable company in the world, and if they continue to perform like they have so far, they could easily double or triple their stock value year-over-year by the end of December 2012. Apple is currently valued at over half a trillion dollars.
In short, it’s a good time to be an Apple investor, and a very exciting time for anyone tied to Apple or the Apple community.
