Apple's incoming CEO John Ternus urged not to chase Tim Cook's stock returns

Bloomberg reported that Apple shares delivered a 2,736% total return during Tim Cook's tenure as CEO, growing the company from a $350 billion business to a $4.6 trillion one. Commentary responding to that data argues incoming CEO John Ternus shouldn't feel pressure to replicate those numbers, pointing to Steve Jobs' and Cook's own philosophy that financial results should follow great products rather than be pursued directly.
