Apple Stock News
For the latest Apple Stock News, AAPL closed at $156.39 per share on August 4th, 2017. It generated a return of 0.53% from its previous close on August 3rd, 2017, when it closed at $155.57 per share.
This week, Apple released an earnings report that was surprisingly positive. For that reason the shares spiked. In addition, the weekly “leaks” about the upcoming iPhone are so impressive that investors are happily buying shares, expecting a massive stock appreciation.
It has been a while since Apple became the most valuable company in the world. With this week’s jump its market cap is now over $800 billion. Analysts and investors believe that if Apple has a great fourth quarter, its possible that they could increase their market cap to $1 trillion.
The most obvious factor for such a milestone to be reached is for Apple’s iPhone 8 to be a blockbuster. It is no secret that their cellphone segment is their biggest of all.
Another key factor is to make the iPhone a “hub”. With so many new products like the HomePod and the Apple Watch, they should find a way to make the iPhone the controlling force of every apple product. It forces customers to be immersed in iOS, never thinking of buying a Samsung cellphone or any non-apple product for that matter.
