Why Apple Stock Is Trading Near All-Time Highs

Benzinga Real-time News ·  Jul 16, 2021 11:42

$Apple Inc(AAPL.US)$ is trading near all-time highs after rallying nearly 14% over the last month. 

It is a result of iPhone strength and services growth, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said Friday on CNBC's "Squawk Box."

This is the strongest product cycle Apple has had in the last decade, Ives said: "this is a true supercycle."

Ives told CNBC he believes the street is underestimating the growth of Apple. Services are a big part of that growth, he said A year ago, services were worth $200 billion to $300 billion, but today, services are worth about $1.3 trillion, he added. 

Ives has an Outperform rating and a $185 price target on Apple.

At last check Friday, the stock was down 0.54% at $147.68.
