Worth (stock) and income (flow) are two different categories of measurement. It doesn’t make sense to compare one of those of one entity with the other of those of an entirely different entity. It’s non sequitur.

Your example is more valid as a comparison as net income and revenue are both in the flow category of measurement.

OPs example is like comparing the total incomes of a neighborhood in LA with the total enterprise value of all the McDonald’s in Ecuador. You can put them next to each other in a chart. But doesn’t really make sense.

That’s just it. It DOESNT show how massive apples market cap is via a comparison for perspective because the comparison is invalid.

It just shows apples market cap and then a separate number next to it. No perspectives obtained from a comparison.
