The good news from the tax reform bill is that Apple’s corporate tax rate will decline by 40%, from the current 35% to 21%. But that’s not all. The bill would create a cash repatriation holiday where companies would pay a one-time tax of 15.5% on the overseas cash they bring back to the U.S.
Apple appears to be poised for a record holiday quarter. iPhone X production is improving. Three million units are currently being produced each week, but that could increase to four million units per week in December. According to Rosenblatt Securities analyst Jun Zhang, Apple may have sold six million iPhone X units over the Black Friday weekend which would be an amazing feat.
Apple is currently laying the groundwork for a sizeable boost in the Services business. This is on top of the stellar success the Services business already had in the most recent quarter when it grew over 24% to $8.5B in revenue. The Services segment is composed of the App store, Apple Music, iCloud, and Apple Pay.
