Apple's Stock Closed at All-Time High Today Ahead of Earnings Results Next Week

Friday January 22, 2021 1:15 pm PST by Joe Rossignol

Apple's stock price closed at an all-time high of $139.07 today after reaching a new intraday record of $139.85 moments earlier.

The gains come just five days before Apple is set to report its earnings results for the first quarter of the 2021 fiscal year. Many analysts forecast that Apple's quarterly revenue will exceed the $100 billion mark for the first time thanks to strong iPhone 12 sales and the launch of several other products in the quarter, including the first three Macs with Apple silicon, HomePod mini, AirPods Max, and a redesigned iPad Air. Apple Fitness+ also launched last month and can be bundled with other services with Apple One.

Apple has thrived financially during the ongoing pandemic as many customers work, learn, and connect with others from home, leading to strong iPad and Mac sales in particular. Apple products are also popular gifts during the holidays.

Apple's earnings report will be released on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time and will be followed by a conference call with Apple's CEO Tim Cook and CFO Luca Maestri at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Apple's current quarterly revenue record is $91.8 billion, set in the first quarter of the 2020 fiscal year.

Can't stop AAPL since the iPod in 2001. It transformed the company completely. I've told anyone and everyone the same since, and only 2 of my buddies ever bought any.

<== AAPL shareholder since 1996:)

Don't expect a huge increase in stock price next week as much of that expectation of a huge Q1 is already priced in the current stock value.

It seems that AAPL will actually be over $150. But, to be honest, it is starting to be overpriced.

Apple is not overpriced. 2022 forward earnings on the high side of 5.07 will give us an after net cash PE of 37 at a $200 stock price. Yup we are undervalued at 140

What matters is the fed balance sheet and fiscal stimuli coming out of congress. Cramer is just noise.

For the over all market I agree. Also I don’t nut hug Cramer but gave him credit for bringing up the point of the weak dollar could lead to a substantial beat. As ashamed of myself for admitting I watch him I couldn’t just steal the idea as if it was my own. I think it’s a valid point.
