There’s a reason why Apple (AAPL) is largest stock in the stock market and the richest company in the world right now. Apple is indeed one of the best stocks to buy right now.
Here’s my top stakes of this giant product and Service Company –
-
As you all might know by now, Apple has more than $260+ billion in cash reserves and it pays a dividend of just over 1.5%. Apple has reserved a set amount towards stock buy-backs which should only increase the stock price.
-
Apple’s most reliable and the iconic iPhone sales will never fade, sales of the iPhone can increase or decrease but the product is here to stay with the rich Apple’s ecosystem and product integration. Apple fans are loyal and love the experience, UI/UX richness.
-
Apple’s services revenue is up YOY and this trend should only continue as more and more people continue to buy and use Apple’s products – iPhone, iPad, Mac etc. Apple’s services revenue is already in the value of fortune 100 companies and will soon overshadow the iPhone’s income (which is the highest right now). Services revenue comes next.
-
Apple music, Apple TV and Apple watch – Sales numbers is comparatively less when compared to the iPhone and services revenue but should be up going forward. Expect original content shows in Apple music and watch updates this year.
-
Apple’s venturing into the AR, new OLED iPhone, new watch expected in WWDC should only get things better.
