For the same period:

AMZN: +2100% META: +1700% MSFT: +1300% GOOG: +1400%

This is a specious comparison at best. Apple is, at heart, a hardware company. They have different growth profiles. A consumer hardware company getting that sort of growth is mind boggling.

Was meta a public company back then? Amazon, I think, was quite small, too.

  • You're right, Facebook didn't go public until May 2012, after the start of the period mentioned. Amazon went public in '97.
