"Google seems under-rewarded." Google's growth was anticipated more and the and factored into the stock price (at the start of the five years) to a greater degree than was for Apple.


I had the same thought when I read it. Either that or Google's initial stock price was based more on the company's goodwill than earnings.


A little bit misleading since it captures the period of Apple's largest growth (the last 5 years). Better to show some additional time periods, for example the last 10 years.




Note the “Wintel” cohort consisting of Intel, Microsoft, HP clustered around the Low growth, low valuation quadrant in the lower left (coincidentally co-located with IBM).
