According to forecasts of the brokerage firm Cantor Fitzerald, Apple Corporation, after 12 months, may become the first company whose capitalization will exceed $ 1 trillion. The value of the share at current volume will be $ 180. Analysts are counting on the potential of the Chinese market for Apple, on the success of Apple Watch and Apple TV and the release of electric vehicles by 2020.
In February 2015, Apple became the
first company with a capitalization of more than $ 700 billion. At this point, the value of one share was $ 122 dollars. By comparison, in February, Google’s market capitalization was $ 358 billion and Microsoft $ 346 billion. Over the past ten years, Apple shares rose by 2000%. On Monday, March 23, Apple shares were worth $ 127.1, and the company's capitalization was already $ 744 billion.
Brokerage firm Cantor Fitzerald predicts a rise in Apple shares to $ 180 dollars during the year. If the forecast comes true, the company will be the first to exceed the $ 1 trillion bar.
Analysts give such a forecast based on several factors. First, growth will occur due to the company's success in the Chinese market: in the last quarter of 2014, sales in the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan grew by 70% in annual terms and amounted to 16.1 billion. This is facilitated by the expansion of LTE in China - there are more smartphone users. Cantor Fitzerald talk about the potential of this market of $ 133-178 billion over the next five years,
according to RBC.
