>The entire company is worth something like half a trillion dollars (about twice Apple)

Um..... Apple is worth about 600B now, ( And it is heavily under value in todays valuation ), how is half a trillion dollar; 500B worth twice as Apple?



Apple has assets of around $321.686 billion, whereas Samsung is worth around 1.64601505816 times more with assets of around $529.5 billion. Therefore Apple is not only worth less than Samsung, but is heavily over valued.


Apple has over $200B in cash alone. And does close to $40B a year in profits. Calling them heavily overvalued when their market cap is only $600B is ridiculous.

Talking about assets as if they are that important is so weird. How would you rate finance companies and other sorts of companies with tons of assets. They would be insanely undervalued according to your "analysis"


So Samsung has an Market Cap of 500B and Asset of 529? What are those asset? How many of them are cash? What is its P/E? This is like saying the largest insurance has trillion of asset and therefore they are all under valued.
