Apple $1 Trillion Is Already the Past – This Is the Future

By , Defense + Tech Specialist, Money Morning • @Robinson_STI -

To hear Wall Street tell it, the fact that Apple Inc. just became the first U.S. firm to reach a $1 trillion market cap is "big news."

I'm not so sure...

Please don't think I'm being cynical. After all, I'm one of the biggest Apple bulls around.

Here's the thing. While the $1 trillion valuation coming on the heels of a great earnings report is a key milestone for all tech investors, Apple's historic status isn't a surprise.

At least not to those who have been following along here...

See, back in April 2015, I predicted Apple would make this notable achievement.

And since then, it's up 61%. That's nearly double the S&P 500's 33.4% return over the same period.

So, if you've been following along with my advice over the years, you've made a bundle here.

But that's the past. Unless you were one of the savvy ones who bet on Apple, it doesn't matter.

The question now is: Where's Apple going from here?

Here's my latest prediction...

Apple Might Be a Trillion-Dollar Company, but Its Stock Is Still a Bargain

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

After Apple Inc. became the first company to achieve a trillion-dollar market cap on Aug. 2, many investors felt as though they'd missed out on one of the most historic run-ups in Wall Street history.

But they're just missing the bigger picture. In fact, the world's first trillion-dollar company is just getting started.

You see, Apple is still an absolute bargain - even after breezing through this historic marker, the company is trading well below the inflated metrics of its peers and the market as a whole.

Why Apple Stock Is Still One of the Best Investments on the Market

By , Money Morning -

Apple stock

On May 1, Apple Inc. released a stellar earnings report, pushing the company's stock up 4% in just one day.

Despite the company's recent performance, many investors are still skeptical that Apple stock is still the best investment available.

In just the last year, Apple's stock has already risen 36% - an increase that seems to give the company little room to continue its run.

Investor confidence has also been plagued with rumors about cutbacks at several of the company's largest manufacturing plants in response to dwindling Chinese sales.

However, wary investors couldn't be more wrong.

For Apple Q2 Earnings, Ignore the Noise and Focus on This

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

The arrival of Apple Q2 earnings can only mean one thing: The financial media and analysts are convinced the sky is falling.

In recent weeks, we've seen a string of stories agonizing over slowdowns in the Apple supply chain, as well as sluggish iPhone sale in China. Surely, Apple is doomed, right?

The trouble is, we've seen this play before. And in almost every case, concerns were overblown. Investors are better off ignoring these reports.

Here's what you should be watching instead...

Why You Should Buy AAPL Stock Despite the iPhone Sales "Slump"

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Apple

Now is a good time to buy AAPL stock.

Wall Street was disappointed over a 1% drop in iPhone sales, as well as lower-than-expected guidance from Apple's Q1 earnings. That, and the overall stock market plunge, have made Apple stock the most affordable it's been in months.

We believe Wall Street has misread Apple's earnings and that the stock has plenty of upside ahead of it.

Here's why AAPL stock is headed to $200 over the next 12 months...

The New iPhones Will Push Apple Stock to a $1 Trillion Market Cap

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Apple stock

With the help of a refreshed slate of products, Apple stock will soar high enough in 2018 to hit the milestone of a $1 trillion market cap.

At its annual fall event, Apple introduced the third iteration of its Apple Watch and a new Apple TV. But the star of the show, as always, was the iPhone. A $999 anniversary edition of the iPhone features an edge-to-edge screen as well as facial recognition technology.

Here's how these new products will drive AAPL stock to a $1 trillion valuation...

These Apple Stock Price Predictions Defy iPhone 8 Worries

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Apple stock price predictions

No matter how dire the stories regarding the much-anticipated iPhone 8, Wall Street's Apple stock price predictions keep trending higher.

Eight analysts have raised their AAPL stock price targets in the past three months, ignoring reports that several highly anticipated features on the iPhone 8 aren't quite ready and that customers will balk at its predicted price tag of $1,000 or more.

But as it turns out, Wall Street has good reason to put its faith in Apple stock...

Why the "Low" Apple Dividend Yield Is Actually Delivering Big Gains

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Apple dividend yield

The Apple dividend yield doesn't get its fair share of attention, overlooked by the media in favor of the latest iPhone news and stock price gyrations.

But the truth is, the Apple dividend yield is one of the best reasons to own the stock. Over the past five years, the Apple dividend has nearly doubled total return for the stock.

And the potential for future gains is even better.

Here's why the Apple dividend has tons of headroom to grow much bigger...

Apple Stock Dividend Hike Takes Yet Another Title from Exxon

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Apple stock dividend

The Apple stock dividend has increased 10.5%, which means the company's annual dividend payout is now $13.2 billion - the largest in the world.

It's the latest crown that Apple Inc. has snatched from oil giant Exxon Mobil. Over the past decade, Apple has surpassed Exxon in one category after the next, symbolizing a changing of the guard from Big Oil to Big Tech.

Here are all the ways that Apple has surpassed Exxon...
