Better Buy: Apple vs. Microsoft
It's lonely at the top, particularly for the tech companies that are part of the trillion-dollar market capitalization club.
As it stands, just Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are members. At last check, Apple's market capitalization stood at $1.2 trillion while Microsoft's was at $1.14 trillion.
While Microsoft's business is booming thanks to its cloud computing prowess, Apple is in the middle of the holiday selling season, typically a strong-three month period for the iPhone maker. Plus, its focus on services has been providing numerous benefits to the company's financials. Its stock is also doing better than Microsoft's. So far in 2019, Apple's shares are up more than 75%, while Microsoft is trading about 40% higher.
