After being in a trading range for quite some time and well off its 52-week high, AAPL has just jumped almost two percent, adding over $2.35/share and trading at $130.29, but still off its all-time highs.
Several data points of which to be aware:
- it was reported yesterday that analysts expect Apple to sell a record number of iPhones this year, easily eclipsing its record iPhone sales back in 2015; there had been rumors of an Apple iPhone supercycle beginning this year;
- major smartphone manufacturer LG announced that it will exit the smartphone field immediately;
- there was a report that despite semiconductor and other parts shortages, the iPhone will not be affected; and most other Apple products will not be affected or if they are, minimally affected;
- Apple seems to have the higher "moral" ground when it comes to privacy and transparency;
- yesterday it was announced that the public school system in Edinburgh, Scotland, will be providing an iPad for each student from ten to eighteen years of age.
- AAPL one-year target: trending toward $160/share
