Etc.- all in one place

I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.

To get your copy of the report, click on the button below to purchase it.

Report 1: Google Product Report (Android, Chrome, Gmail, Google, Google Play, Home, and YouTube).

Report 2: Digital Titans Report (Amazon, Amazon Prime, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft).

Report 3: FAANG Report (Amazon, Amazon Prime, Apple, Facebook, Messenger, Google, Netflix).

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these Google Nest stats come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
