We might have not seen these layoffs if their stock was humming along nicely, but that hasn't been the case this year.

So yeah, the fact that they are relatively "struggling" and aren't the top company anymore has some relevance.

They’re the second biggest company in the world now, and by not that much. They’re doing fine.

It would be a different story if they suddenly dropped a magnitude or more, but going from first to second has basically no relevance on the content of the comment. It would have read the exact same if it said “second biggest company”.
