Subject: Re: AAPL PE when WEB was buying
The big buying by Mr B started in Q4 2016. P/E was around 13, trailing earnings per (split adjusted) share around $2.10
Slowdown around Q3/Q4 2018 at P/E around 20.
Big selling Q1-Q3 2024 at P/E varying from 25-35, earnings around $6.20.
Comparing end period to start period, earnings up by a factor of around 3, multiples by a factor of around 2.3, return around a factor of 7 plus dividends. (ignoring the various purchase and sales in between)
