2019 Predictions for Apple
With a hard year left behind, analysts wondered if Apple could make a comeback. Many analysts believe that their stock won’t climb up until late in the year. The reason for this is that their flagship phones usually launch in the third quarter of the year. In August 2018, Apple had a market value of $1 trillion and analysts believe that they wouldn’t be able to return it in 2019. However, Gene Munster, Loup Ventures managing partner, believes that in 2020 Apple will return its market value and go beyond that.
Apple Stock Predictions for 2020
Apple has been hit very hard in 2018, thus regaining the throne in 2019 seems like an impossible mission. However, in 2020, Apple believes that they’ll be back on top. To make up for their iPhone losses, Apple now focuses on wearables and services. They plan to launch a video streaming service, similar to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, which could bring them some revenue in 2020. Apple spends around $1 billion a year on video content but analysts say that they need to raise the value to $4 billion.
