Apple's True Market Share v2

[Alex]

Hello All Ti List Members

This Follows on from the previous thread that I started about Apple's 
actual place in the PC Market.

I have spoken with a friend who works for a company which creates and 
distributes world market databases. He has supplied me with the figures 
for all the notable players in the PC market. I must say that I was 
surprised by some of the details that it shows. These figures are 
accurate as of yesterday, they give the Enterprise Value, Market Value, 
Net income before extras, Net income Before Int & Tax, Stock 
Price/Earns, Net sales and % Total Sales for the Industry. These were 
supplied separately as figures for the US (35 Companies) and Global 
Market (99 Companies).

As of today Apple ranks third to its US competitors and fifth in the 
Worldwide Market. But bear in mind as you look at the figures, that the 
companies that top the list do so with more than computers to make make 
that place. For example HP-Compac have a very large non desktop 
business and Fujitsu make at lot more than just computers. Also 
interesting is who ranks below Apple [APPL] in the market place.

If you want to view these figures I have posted them on my .mac site. 
Either go to:

or use the iDisk Utility and type in:

and you will get access to my public folder.

The figures are in both Excel and AppleWorks format each document 
contains exactly the same data.

Happy reading.
