Apple’s Market Value Expected to Reach $2 Trillion By The End of Next Year

Recently, an investment bank Wedbush issued a statement. It said that by the end of next year, Apple’s market value is expected to reach $2 trillion.

Wedbush technical analyst Dan Ives said in a report on Monday: ‘Given the tailwind of 5G and the development of Apple’s service industry in the next few years, Apple is expected to be the first company with a market value of more than $2 trillion by the end of 2021.’

One of the biggest Apple bulls on Wall Street raised its 12-month price target to $ 350. Ives said that in the bull market scenario, he believes that Apple’s stock price will reach $400 by the end of this year. This is more than 30% up from Monday’s closing price of $316.96.

Apple’s stock price has surged 86% in 2019 and is up 8% so far this year, pushing the market cap to a record $1.4 trillion.

Ives said that 2019 is just the beginning of the ‘transition 5G super cycle’, and the market demand for iPhone 11 is stronger than expected. He also predicted that Apple’s service business sales will reach $500 billion to $650 billion, becoming the company’s main source of revenue.

In addition, UBS on Tuesday raised Apple’s target price from $280 to $355, citing ‘the outlook for the iPhone is more optimistic.’ DA Davidson also raised Apple’s target price to $375 on Monday.

UBS’s latest smartphone survey shows that more than 20% of respondents believe that 5G is a positive factor and that the willingness to purchase iPhones in different regions is also increasing. UBS predicts that by the fiscal year 2020, iPhone sales will reach 196 million, a year-on-year increase of 5%.
