The Big Six in Q3 2017

Every quarter, one of the decks I put together as part of my Jackdaw Research Quarterly Decks Service is a comparison of financial and operating metrics for the “big six” consumer tech companies – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Samsung. As I’ve done for several previous quarters, I’m also doing a quick run-through here of some of the highlights from the deck for Q3 2017. You can learn more about the Jackdaw Research Quarterly Decks Service here, and I embedded the full deck for Q2 in last quarter’s post, which you can find here.
