Asset vs Debt

Equity vs Debt

Apple's liquidity is one of the most fundamental aspects of both its future profitability and its ability to meet different types of ongoing financial obligations.

The market value of Apple Inc is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Apple that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Apple's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Apple's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Apple's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Apple's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Understanding that Apple's value differs from its trading price is crucial, as each reflects different aspects of the company. Evaluating whether Apple represents a sound investment requires analyzing earnings trends, revenue growth, technical signals, industry dynamics, and expert forecasts. Meanwhile, Apple's quoted price indicates the marketplace figure where supply meets demand through bilateral consent.
