Apple loses $26 Billion after shares fall 4.2% due to recent events.

It would have the same effect as stock splitting (which they did heavily in April). However it would directly inject more cash into the company because instead of dropping the individual share price but the split ratio  they would be selling  X number of stocks at the current price to the market. Ergo more cash to them, more stock on the market and maintaining company value. 

 

No, it wouldn't. During stock splitting the individual share of sharehodlers stays the same and doesnt get diluted.

May I ask if you have any formal education it that area, or are you just catching up on investopedia etc. ?

I have advisers for that, I don't have time to do it myself.

And I am sure you can use google.

Sure I can use google, but I am also one step ahead from formally getting my MBA and I own shares for almost 10 years now, so I would think that I know a thing or two about what I am talking. You and some others here come with big words they somewhere heard before, but have no clue afterall ...

I have to agree with Victorious here: it looks bad but look at how much money overall they have over 600 billion it's mind boggling, they'll be fine.

Still not too sure what your point is.  Are you trying to say something that we've all missed. Because from were I stand it looks like,  bar a few people, we're all saying the same thing.

you said, that Apple lost access to some sort of "finacial ressource", which simply isn't true.

Then you said, that stock splitting and issuing new stock would have the same effect, which isn't true either.

Then you link two pages which basicaly confirm, that you are wrong ...

A shares value drop doesn't mean Apple magically loses money. The investors will lose money if they sell their shares.

Share prices can be stupid, they drop to the floor or shoot sky high on rumours. 

That's because the investors sell or buy their stock based on rumors

Alot of people here have no idea how stocks work and are throwing around terms like they know whats going on..I have to commend people for having an astounding amount of confidence in their wrong thinking.
