Earlier this year,investors dumped the company's stocksfollowing a historic December quarter.Apple is the world's most valuable company with a current market cap of around $2.1 trillion. Itcrossed the first trillion in 2018and the$2 trillion mark in 2020. Analysts, including Ives, have previously talked about Apple's roadmap to the record $3 trillion mark.“We think ultimately 12 to 18 months from now,” Ives told CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia” on Tuesday when asked about a possible timeline to the next milestone.“If you look at the innovation, if you look at thesupercycleplaying out in the services business right now, I believe this is just sort of the next stage of growth,” Ives said, adding it is set to prove to skeptics that Apple remains focused on innovation.In late April, Ives increased Apple’s price target from $175 a share to $185, maintaining an outperform rating on the stock. Apple’s shares closed at $125.90 per share during normal trading hours on Monday.Software servicesApple has been viewed as a hardware company for years while CEOTim Cookpushed the narrative that the firm’s iOS operating system has a services ecosystem — built around a base of more than one billion device users — that’s a big part of its future.But the mix of hardware and software has evolved and in 2020, the tech giantreceived its biggest endorsement from Wall Street and investors.Ives values Apple’s software services business at about $1 trillion at the moment, and expects it to increase to about $1.5 trillion in order for the company’s market value to hit $3 trillion.“They have put an iron fence around their install base, continue to monetize it, and the bears and skeptics will continue to doubt them,” he said.He said Apple continues to “prove them wrong.” He added: “Which is why when I look around the corner, despite this digestion period, I see a $3 trillion market cap (in) 2022.”At its Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, on Monday, thecompany showed off a slew of new updates for Apple’s major products. It included the iOS 15 — the latest version of the iPhone operating system.New iPhonesare also expected later this year, while anApple Car is also in the works.Ives said that at the moment, Apple is laying the foundation for the next stage of growth where software and services play important roles.Risks to the $3 trillion targetThere are several potential risks that could hinder Apple from reaching the historic $3 trillion market capitalization, according to Ives.They includea court battle with Epic Games, maker of the popular video game Fortnite, whereCook faced sharp questioning from the judge last month.Last year, Apple removed Fortnite from its iPhone App Store, saying that the game violated its guidelines for its software distribution platform. Epic Games responded by filing a lawsuit within hours, accusing Apple of anti-competitive behavior. Apple then filed counterclaims and responses, seeking damages for Epic Games’ breach of contract.Ives also pointed to growing regulatory scrutiny around the world. TheEuropean Commission said in Aprilthat the iPhone maker “abused its dominant position” in the distribution of music streaming apps through its Apps Store.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1072,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":186349096,"gmtCreate":1623475390815,"gmtModify":1634032614052,"author":{"id":"3572144700905175","authorId":"3572144700905175","name":"Banana98","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572144700905175","authorIdStr":"3572144700905175"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/186349096","repostId":"1148066206","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148066206","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1623132495,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1148066206?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-08 14:08","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"Apple in talks with CATL, BYD over battery supplies for its electric car -sources","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148066206","media":"Reuters","summary":"SHANGHAI/HONG KONG  - Apple Inc is in early-stage talks with China's CATL and BYD about the supply of batteries for its planned electric vehicle, four people with knowledge of the matter said.The discussions are subject to change and it is not clear if agreements with either CATL or BYD will be reached, said the people who declined to be named as the discussions are private.Apple has made building manufacturing facilities in the United States a condition for potential battery suppliers, said two","content":"<p>SHANGHAI/HONG KONG (Reuters) - Apple Inc is in early-stage talks with China's CATL and BYD about the supply of batteries for its planned electric vehicle, four people with knowledge of the matter said.</p><p>The discussions are subject to change and it is not clear if agreements with either CATL or BYD will be reached, said the people who declined to be named as the discussions are private.</p><p>Apple has made building manufacturing facilities in the United States a condition for potential battery suppliers, said two of the sources.</p><p>CATL, which supplies major car makers including Tesla Inc, is reluctant to build a U.S. factory due to political tensions between Washington and Beijing as well as cost concerns, the two people said.</p><p>It was not immediately clear if Apple is also talking to other battery makers.</p><p>Apple, which has yet to make a public announcement about its car plans, declined to comment.

Earlier this year,investors dumped the company's stocksfollowing a historic December quarter.Apple is the world's most valuable company with a current market cap of around $2.1 trillion. Itcrossed the first trillion in 2018and the$2 trillion mark in 2020. Analysts, including Ives, have previously talked about Apple's roadmap to the record $3 trillion mark.“We think ultimately 12 to 18 months from now,” Ives told CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia” on Tuesday when asked about a possible timeline to the next milestone.“If you look at the innovation, if you look at thesupercycleplaying out in the services business right now, I believe this is just sort of the next stage of growth,” Ives said, adding it is set to prove to skeptics that Apple remains focused on innovation.In late April, Ives increased Apple’s price target from $175 a share to $185, maintaining an outperform rating on the stock. Apple’s shares closed at $125.90 per share during normal trading hours on Monday.Software servicesApple has been viewed as a hardware company for years while CEOTim Cookpushed the narrative that the firm’s iOS operating system has a services ecosystem — built around a base of more than one billion device users — that’s a big part of its future.But the mix of hardware and software has evolved and in 2020, the tech giantreceived its biggest endorsement from Wall Street and investors.Ives values Apple’s software services business at about $1 trillion at the moment, and expects it to increase to about $1.5 trillion in order for the company’s market value to hit $3 trillion.“They have put an iron fence around their install base, continue to monetize it, and the bears and skeptics will continue to doubt them,” he said.He said Apple continues to “prove them wrong.” He added: “Which is why when I look around the corner, despite this digestion period, I see a $3 trillion market cap (in) 2022.”At its Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, on Monday, thecompany showed off a slew of new updates for Apple’s major products. It included the iOS 15 — the latest version of the iPhone operating system.New iPhonesare also expected later this year, while anApple Car is also in the works.Ives said that at the moment, Apple is laying the foundation for the next stage of growth where software and services play important roles.Risks to the $3 trillion targetThere are several potential risks that could hinder Apple from reaching the historic $3 trillion market capitalization, according to Ives.They includea court battle with Epic Games, maker of the popular video game Fortnite, whereCook faced sharp questioning from the judge last month.Last year, Apple removed Fortnite from its iPhone App Store, saying that the game violated its guidelines for its software distribution platform. Epic Games responded by filing a lawsuit within hours, accusing Apple of anti-competitive behavior. Apple then filed counterclaims and responses, seeking damages for Epic Games’ breach of contract.Ives also pointed to growing regulatory scrutiny around the world. TheEuropean Commission said in Aprilthat the iPhone maker “abused its dominant position” in the distribution of music streaming apps through its Apps Store.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1072,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":186349096,"gmtCreate":1623475390815,"gmtModify":1634032614052,"author":{"id":"3572144700905175","authorId":"3572144700905175","name":"Banana98","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572144700905175","authorIdStr":"3572144700905175"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/186349096","repostId":"1148066206","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148066206","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1623132495,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1148066206?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-08 14:08","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"Apple in talks with CATL, BYD over battery supplies for its electric car -sources","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148066206","media":"Reuters","summary":"SHANGHAI/HONG KONG  - Apple Inc is in early-stage talks with China's CATL and BYD about the supply of batteries for its planned electric vehicle, four people with knowledge of the matter said.The discussions are subject to change and it is not clear if agreements with either CATL or BYD will be reached, said the people who declined to be named as the discussions are private.Apple has made building manufacturing facilities in the United States a condition for potential battery suppliers, said two","content":"<p>SHANGHAI/HONG KONG (Reuters) - Apple Inc is in early-stage talks with China's CATL and BYD about the supply of batteries for its planned electric vehicle, four people with knowledge of the matter said.</p><p>The discussions are subject to change and it is not clear if agreements with either CATL or BYD will be reached, said the people who declined to be named as the discussions are private.</p><p>Apple has made building manufacturing facilities in the United States a condition for potential battery suppliers, said two of the sources.</p><p>CATL, which supplies major car makers including Tesla Inc, is reluctant to build a U.S. factory due to political tensions between Washington and Beijing as well as cost concerns, the two people said.</p><p>It was not immediately clear if Apple is also talking to other battery makers.</p><p>Apple, which has yet to make a public announcement about its car plans, declined to comment.
