Apple: 3 Reasons Why The Stock Could Trade Higher
Apple has outperformed for decades, but the company is arguably still a bargain. I present three arguments why I believe Apple shares could trade considerably higher within the next 12-36 months. New market opportunities including (1) VR/AR and the Apple Car, (2) accelerating strength in Apple's service portfolio, and (3) continued financial engineering. I value AAPL shares based on a residual earnings framework and calculate a fair base-case target price of $247.51/share, implying upside of >75%.
Apple Shows A Change In Valuation Thesis
Apple faces the greatest challenge compared to other peers in the new regulatory pushback against Big Tech. It is important to note the impact on revenue and business model of a company due to new regulations instead of monetary fines being imposed. Apple could soon face regulations forcing it to allow other payments options on its App Store which has been the core business for Services segment. Apple will also face challenges in its licensing deal with Google as it prevents many other competitors from gaining fair access to Apple device users. The overall headwinds faced by Apple are not priced in the current valuation of the company and we could see further correction in the stock when these regulations are passed.
