Bulls are Presenting Several Reasons for Bullish Sentiments
After experiencing sluggish revenue growth in the past few quarters, Apple turned things around with its new revenue growth strategies. The company has successfully created new revenue channels to offset the impact of iPhone revenue. Fortunately, the launch of the iPhone 11 is likely to enhance its iPhone revenue in the following quarters.
This is because the iPhone 11 sales have exceeded expectations and the company is forced to double its production.
The analysts are forecasting almost 190M+ iPhone sales for FY20. In addition, Apple’s AirPods Pro demand has already surpassed estimates, pushing assembly partners to increase supplies. The shipments for the AirPods line are likely to double this year.
On the other hand, the company has generated high double-digit revenue growth from non-iPhone revenue. It’s wearable revenue came in at $6.5B in the latest quarter while services revenue hit $12.5 billion.
