IBM Worth A Billion More than Microsoft

May 23, 2011 by Dave Michels

It took 15 years. Last Friday, IBM edged out Microsoft on market cap for the first time since April 1996. Great news for IBM, a company that continues to survive the test of time.

Not so good for Microsoft who can’t blame the economy on its performance. Now two major rivals; Apple and IBM are now more valuable than Microsoft. However, Microsoft is significantly more profitable than IBM.

Market Caps
IBM $207.52 B
Microsoft $206.52 B
Apple $308 B
