Apple's market value just surpassed $3 trillion, and despite producing reduced sales in fiscal 2023 compared to the previous quarter, experts remain bullish on the company's prospects.
The Cupertino company is also projected to have a strong Christmas quarter, and experts estimate that Apple will achieve a market valuation of $4 trillion by the end of next year, thanks to its entry into the mixed-reality headset industry and other factors.
Analysts Predict Apple's Market Capitalization Will Reach $4 Trillion by End of 2024
Recent Asian supply chain inspections show no signs of an iPhone sales slowdown, with Wedbush analysts predicting that Apple would ship between 220 million and 230 million handsets in 2024. According to Apple Insider, the investors' memo also stated that Apple's iPhone 15 series will have a successful Christmas season in the following weeks.
With Huawei's recent rise, Apple may face some stiff competition in China. However, according to Wedbush analysts, there is a huge possibility in the area to ship more than 100 million devices in a calendar year.
In terms of market capitalization, these experts believe that Apple will not only exceed $4 trillion by the end of the year, but that the company's Services business will also contribute significantly to the company's overall worth.
This sector is said to be worth between $1.5 and $1.6 trillion, and we have seen in multiple quarters that Services was the only category with higher revenue growth in the following quarter, highlighting that when combined with the company's hardware offerings, this category is ripe for growth.
It should be emphasized that Wedbush analysts' forecast for Apple's overall worth is based on the company's present momentum, and there is no guarantee that it will continue on this path in the future months. We will, however, continue to provide regular updates.
Apple Leak Confirms iPhone 16 Pro Upgrade Surprise
Apple's iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will look identical to prior generations, but recent leaks show how Apple is working hard to maintain control over production while upgrading technology, per Forbes.
Apple is still working to diversify its supplier chain. Given the number of iOS-powered smartphone sales, this is not an easy undertaking, but Tim Cook and his team must avoid becoming reliant on a single supplier for iPhone components. An aspect of that is to guarantee that no supplier has substantial bargaining power over Apple; another aspect is to integrate resilience into the production process.
