Tim Cook Delivered a 2,150% Return for Apple Shareholders Over 15 Years as CEO. Is John Ternus Built to Extend That Run?

Overview

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock managed a 2,230% return since Tim Cook became CEO in August 2011. A $10,000 investment would have grown to roughly $233,000 (including dividends). That kind of performance creates big shoes to fill for incoming CEO John Ternus.

With experience dating back to the Steve Jobs era and a product-first background, Ternus is well qualified to lead Apple's next leg of growth, although delivering another 22x return might be asking too much.
