Apple's Microsoft Moment

By Travis Hoium – Mar 27, 2025 at 6:15AM EST

Apple (AAPL 0.96%) is a highly valued company that may take years to grow into its current valuation. We've seen this before with Microsoft (MSFT 0.43%), and it took more than a decade for the stock to make investors money. Travis Hoium highlights the comparison in this video.
