Given Apple's current stance in the stock market, how do I calculate their income? I know that usually I would use the EPS formula but there are no dividends/yield.

The current income of a major company can be found in their financial statements, specifically the income statement. This document shows the company's revenue, expenses, and net income for a specific period of time, typically a quarter or a year.
To determine how a company's income has changed over time, one can look at their income statement from previous years. This will show the trend in the company's income and whether it has increased or decreased over time.
There are several factors that can affect the income of a major company, including economic conditions, competition, changes in consumer demand, and company performance. Other external factors such as government regulations and natural disasters can also impact a company's income.
A company's income is used for various purposes, such as paying expenses, investing in new projects or acquisitions, paying dividends to shareholders, and saving for future growth. It is also an important metric for investors and analysts to evaluate the financial health of a company.
While a company's income can be affected by various factors, it is subject to strict accounting regulations and standards. Publicly traded companies must adhere to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and undergo audits to ensure their financial statements accurately reflect their income. However, some companies may engage in unethical practices to manipulate their income, which can be detected through careful analysis and investigation.
