Summary:

  • This holiday quarter should see a notable increase in Apple’s hardware sales. Apple’s flat lining iPhone unit sales desperately needs a boost.
  • Amazon recently agreed to sell Apple Watches, iPhones, and iPad tablets in its U.S. and international online stores.
  • Amazon agreed to become an official Apple reseller. Amazon will delist unauthorized resellers of Apple products using its platform by January 4, 2019.
  • Amazon touts more than 100 million Prime subscribers. They are all desirable potential customers for Apple products. Buying online is faster than queuing up at an Apple retail store.
  • I still rate AAPL as a buy.

Apple Stock Predictions

Summary:
  • Apple has toppled Wal-mart to become the second largest online retailer in America. It goes to show that e-commerce could be done on decent-margins.
  • Bezos’ revenue-growth-first-before-profit mantra is not the only path toward success in e-commerce.
  • Steve Jobs’ successor, Tim Cook is also the second-highest compensated CEO in the U.S. The top-compensated CEO of 2016 was Marc Lore, CEO of Wal-Mart’s U.S. E-commerce business.
  • Tim Cook should be commended for making Apple an exemplary model for e-commerce. Unlike Amazon which specializes in thin-margin products, Apple sells pricey products online.
  • Direct selling online is more beneficial to Apple’s gross margins.
