'Not...Roses And Champagne For Apple In Beijing,' But Dan Ives Urges Investors To 'Navigate The Noise' Amid Cupertino's China Revenue Decline
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives remains optimistic about Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) future in China despite a revenue decline in the region, as reported in Apple's first-quarter earnings. The earnings showed an overall year-over-year increase, surpassing market expectations, but highlighted a 12.9% revenue drop in China due to competition and strained U.S.-China relations. Despite these challenges, Apple's stock has risen by 50% in 2023, with Ives predicting a potential $4 trillion market cap in 2024.
