Since Tim Cook became Apple's CEO in 2011, a $5,000 investment in the company would have grown by 2,741.55% to about $142,077 by 2026, vastly outperforming the S&P 500's 551.55% gain. Cook expanded Apple's product line, boosted services revenue, and increased shareholder returns, growing Apple into a $4.7 trillion company. Now, John Ternus takes over as CEO with strong momentum from AI advancements and supply deals, but the stock's high valuation and regulatory risks suggest investors should be cautious about new investments at current prices.
