Likewise, Table 3 exhibited revenue numbers for Q1 2011 and the three prior quarters, listing each of the G5 Electronics IP vendor's revenue results for each of those quarters. Table 4 gave earnings numbers for Q1 2011 and the three prior quarters, listing each of the G5 IP vendor's earnings results for each of those quarters.
All ten vendors, side by side
To gain a side by side comparison of all ten vendors, in a format which lists both the Stock Prices and Market Caps for January 07, 2011; March 25, 2011; and June 03, 2011, we present below Table 5. After each time period, the percentage the later Market Cap increased over its predecessor is listed in two-digit bold black font. If the Market Cap decreased over the period, the percentage is displayed in two-digit bold red font.
Note that 7 of the 10 vendors gained in market valuation over the seventy-seven day interval between January 07 and March 25, 2011. These trends are consistent with the up slope portions of the stock charts also included above. But over the following seventy days between March 25 and June 03, Table 5 reveals that four of the ten vendors lost market value, and so on.
Electronics IP vendor ARM Holdings’ market strength is again evident, compared to all the other nine companies listed.
Parting Comment: Over the two weeks between June 03 and June 17, 2011, Magma was the only member of the G10 whose Market Cap did not further decline. During that 2-week period, the NASDAQ Composite lost another 4.25% of its value.
