Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.

Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 28, 2026, 4:46 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

Quoted token and share units can have different rights, multipliers and dividend treatment. This is not an executable premium or arbitrage signal.

Apple has permanently closed the Towson Town Center store in Maryland, the first Apple retail location in the United States to successfully unionize. The closure, which took effect around June 21, is now the subject of an unfair labor practice charge filed with the National Labor Relations Board.

The store’s roughly 70 unionized employees organized under the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in June 2022, making national headlines at the time. Now, over half of those workers have reportedly lost their jobs, with the majority offered no transfer to other Apple locations.

What Apple says, and what the union says

Apple attributed the shutdown to “declining conditions” at the Towson Town Center mall. The company pointed to a wave of retailer departures from the shopping center, rising local crime rates, and the broader shift toward online shopping as justification for pulling the plug.

The IAM sees it differently. The union filed its charge with the NLRB alleging that Apple retaliated against workers specifically for their organizing efforts.

The Towson store had been operational since 2002, meaning Apple ran the location for more than two decades before deciding conditions had become untenable. The unionization vote happened in 2022.

Political fallout is already building

Maryland congressional representatives, including Kweisi Mfume, have publicly demanded accountability from Apple over the closure. Their primary concern centers on the lack of relocation options provided to affected employees.

If the NLRB finds merit in the IAM’s complaint, it could issue a formal complaint against Apple, potentially requiring the company to reinstate workers or provide back pay.

Apple closed two other retail stores alongside the Towson location, which the company may use as evidence that the Maryland shutdown was part of a broader portfolio decision rather than a targeted strike against union activity.
