This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business and the Becker Private Equity Podcast. Today's discussion is meta platforms Google, Apple and Microsoft. So here's the deal with these four. These four continue to roll on. Google is up almost 33% year to date and just continues to kill it. That was telling. All the changes in AI and all the challenges to its business model and all the antitrust challenges. Google keeps on rocking on meta platforms. Facebook. You have to give great credit to Mark Zuckerberg. He is able to keep on inventing and keep on improving. Facebook meta platforms, they're now up 26% year to date and keep on making it happen. The two other companies I'll talk about today are Apple and Microsoft. Each of these are very close to 4 trillion in market cap. And now each of them is significantly up year to date. Apple spent a lot of time this year somewhat in the doldrums. Now it seems to be recovering on the sales of its iPhone 17 and just generally lots of positive news there. It's up about 4% year to date, but back to about 3.9 trillion in market cap. And Microsoft may be the company that gets less attention but just keeps on winning. It just keeps on keeping on. It's up 24% year to date and in its market cap currently is right about 3.9 trillion in. Apple is right behind that. Right about 3.87 trillion or so, but right about the same spot. So again, that's a quick report on Apple. Meta platforms Google and Microsoft, they keep on rocking. I wish I was invested more in them directly than just in index funds, but this is life.
