Apple (AAPL) is among the largest companies in the world. Valued at a market cap of $2.6 trillion, Apple stock has returned 705% in the past 10 years and a monstrous 36,750% since April 2004, easily crushing the broader market's returns.
However, in the last six months, Apple has underperformed equity benchmarks, including the S&P 500 Index ($SPX), due to various issues - including regulatory concerns, sluggish growth, and slowing iPhone sales in China.
