Apple Now Worth As Much As Microsoft, HP And Dell ? Combined

If you look at how Apple fares on the public markets today, compared to other tech powerhouses, you'll notice that the Cupertino computer giant is currently valued at roughly $301 billion, which is close to the sum of the market cap of three of its closest rivals: Microsoft (~$200.3 billion), Hewlett-Packard (~$72.8 billion) and Dell (~$29.3 billion). Market cap is of course just one metric ? and arguably not even the best one ? to make comparisons between companies. It is, nevertheless, a most excellent trend barometer and a simple way to compare valuations.
