But it's a testament to how resilient Apple's business is in the wake of a global financial crisis that saw stocks plummeting in the past year or so.
Yes, Apple's stock, currently trading at $138.9, lost some ground since its record value of $179.5 in Dec. 2021. But it's still up from June this year, thanks to strong earnings results in the third quarter of 2022.

The worst offender, however, is Meta, whose stock has dumped to the depths unseen since 2015, partially fuelled by the company's insistence on spending many billions of dollars on the loosely-conceived, and still largely unproven virtual reality ecosystem called the Metaverse.
Meta's stock is currently trading at $88.9, down from its record value of $378.7 in Sept. 2021. The company's market cap has fallen to just $235.8 billion, making it the 34th largest company in the world — a steep decline, given that it was once the world's sixth largest company, valued at $1.07 trillion.
