We compare Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corporation - which stock looks better for value, income and growth?
If you're interested in building a profitable, diversified portfolio, then you will often need to compare similar companies when choosing which share to buy next. These comparisons aren't always as easy as they sound, so in this series, I'm going to compare some of the best-known names from the FTSE 100, FTSE 250 and the US stock market.
I'm going to use three key criteria - value, income and growth - to compare companies to their sector peers. I've included some US shares, as these provide UK investors with access to some of the world's largest and most successful companies. Although there are some tax implications to holding US shares in a UK dealing account, they are pretty straightforward and I feel are outweighed by the investing potential of the American market.
