There are few stocks that have returned investors as much money as the company that Steve Jobs built – Apple.
It revolutionized the personal computer…
It revolutionized personal listening devices…
The cellphone…
In fact, the argument could be made that it revolutionized marketing for their 1984 campaign.
This company has been riding high for YEARS – even after Steve Jobs went to that great coding firm in the sky…
But lately, things have been a little, ummmm… off.
And by off, we mean off for Apple. Many companies would KILL to have Apple’s “off” days…
But when you’re one of the first trillion-dollar companies to ever exist – you hold yourself to a different standard.
Apple has been coasting – it knows it – and investors know it…
But that’s all about to change.
Well… maybe.
It seems that after years of quasi-complacency – Apple’s (AAPL) innovation engine is starting to rev up again – as the tech giant is reportedly planning some bold design changes to breathe new life into its device lineup.
With slowing sales and increasing competition – the company is looking to make a splash and reignite consumer excitement…
So, what’s Apple cooking?
Expect everything from sleek foldable phones to laptop-replacing devices – and all of it with a hefty dose of AI sprinkled in.
Now, we all know that Apple has long been known for redefining the market with its cutting-edge designs…
But its star product – the iPhone – has been stuck in a bit of a rut.
iPhone sales grew by just 1% in 2024 – a far cry from the 14% growth seen in 2021…
Clearly, Apple knows it’s time to shake things up.
And the rumor mill is SPINNING with what may be on the table.
What EXACTLY does it have cooking up?
Well, there are whispers of a thinner, cheaper iPhone with a simpler, less-expensive camera system aimed at enticing budget-conscious buyers.
A foldable iPhone that’s larger than the current iPhone 16 Pro Max when unfolded – giving users more screen real estate without compromising portability.
A foldable 19-inch device – designed to function as a laptop replacement – blending portability and productivity in one futuristic gadget.
Of course, AI will play a starring role in Apple’s upcoming devices…
The company is reportedly packing its new lineup with advanced AI features – hoping to attract new users and encourage existing ones to upgrade.
Basically, it’s Apple’s way of saying, “We’re not just about looking cool… now it’s about being ahead of the curve again.”
These moves will surely help Apple’s chances of getting back in the game – even though for most – we didn’t know it ever left.
For markets, Apple has long been a polished gem – but it begs the question…
Is it overvalued?
Apple’s devoted fan base has kept the cash flowing – and its share price has reflected that loyalty – rallying about 30% this year…
But here’s the rub: profits have only grown by 10% – creating a disconnect between price and performance.
To be fair – it’s not just Apple…
This phenomenon is reflected in the broader S&P 500 – where prices have surged 28% while profits have risen just 8%.
Typically, investors prefer to see profit growth outpacing price growth – and the current mismatch is raising eyebrows.
For now, Apple remains a fan favorite…
But some are wondering if the stock is getting a little too expensive for its own good.
That may be why the company looks to be doubling down on AI integration to stay competitive.
This aligns with the broader tech landscape – where American companies are investing hundreds of billions into AI-related advancements.
From acquiring cutting-edge chips to building state-of-the-art data centers…
The spending is MASSIVE – if not a little risky.
While AI has the potential to reshape everyday life – there’s no guarantee the returns will justify these colossal investments.
Apple’s move to incorporate AI into its product ecosystem is as much a necessity as it is a gamble…
But it’s one the company can’t afford to skip.
Which is why we’re keeping a watchful eye on the stock – if the data behind it starts showing it to be a profit play – then you can fully expect GorillaTrades to send out a profit alert.
It’s better to know than to guess – and that’s always what has separated GorillaTrades from the rest of our peers.
We use data and numbers as our base. If the data doesn’t back up the price – we leave it be. However, if the data shows it’s about to go on a run – you can bet we’ll be telling ALL our members to jump.
We’d love to have you aboard for the next profit play – which is why I’m extending you an offer to join today.
We’d love to have you with us – but understand that there are some who’d rather figure things out on their own…
Either way, we’ll be here if you need us.
But keep an eye on Apple…
Things could get very interesting in 2025.
“Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity – not a threat.” – Steve Jobs
