Apple Investors Shouldn't Ignore These 3 Weaknesses
Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock price has more than tripled over the past three years, silencing the bears who claimed its best days were over. Its iPhone business remained stable, newer hardware devices like the Apple Watch and AirPods attracted more consumers, and its prisoner-taking services ecosystem locked in over 600 million paid subscribers.
The next few years could also be promising for Apple. Its first family of 5G iPhones could spark lots of upgrades this year, its streaming services should gain more subscribers, and it could gradually expand into the AR and automotive markets. With nearly $200 billion in cash and marketable securities in the bank, Apple still has plenty of ways to expand via new investments and acquisitions.
As a long-term Apple investor, I still believe Apple's best days are ahead. But I'm also well aware that three big challenges could generate unpredictable headwinds for the tech giant in the near future.
