This Stock Remains a Buy

by Tony Daltorio

Apple has said its new iPhone 14 series will include an “Emergency SOS” feature that will allow users to send emergency messages via satellite when out of terrestrial network coverage.

If 1% of iPhone users paid $100 a month for internet access via satellite, this service would add close to $1.5 billion to the Apple’s annual revenue.

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Apple is scheduled to release earnings for its fourth quarter in fiscal year 2022 on Thursday, October 27.

Analysts anticipate earnings to decrease 2% year-over-year to $1.27 per share, down from $1.30 per share a year ago.

Estimates call for revenue of $88.9 billion, which is an 8% year-over-year increase from $81.41 billion.

One of the most influential technology companies in the world, Apple continue to look for new ways to generate revenue.

In fact, the company has increased its revenues by 33% in the last year.

The iPhone remains the company’s flagship product, bringing in just over 50% of sales. But while customers anticipate the next iPhone rollout year after year, Apple is also focusing on releasing new products – which may include a virtual reality headset and self-driving car.

Apple Inc on Monday increased monthly and annual subscription prices in the U.S. for its streaming services Apple TV+ and Apple Music.

It also raised prices for Apple One, its bundle.

Now, a monthly individual subscription to Apple Music costs $10.99, versus the previous price of $9.99.

Competitor Spotify currently starts at $9.99 a month.

Access to Apple TV+ costs $6.99 per month, more than the previous price of $4.99 per month.

Apple TV+ has been competitively priced against other streaming services, some of which have also raised prices in recent months. It also has a smaller library of content.

Competitor Disney+ starts at $7.99 a month while Netflix starts at $9.99 a month but has an ad-supported service at $6.99 a month in the works.

Apple also raised annual subscription prices for those services, and raised the entry-level cost for Apple One, which adds storage and the Arcade gaming service, from $14.95 to $16.95.

International markets and some other bundles will see similar price increases.

The price hikes come during a period of rapid inflation around the world that is forcing businesses to raise prices while still attempting to preserve consumer demand.

The increases could also bolster the revenue from Apple’s rapidly growing services business, which reported $16.9 billion in sales during the June quarter.

But Apple also warned that the services business growth would slow in the September quarter, partially because of a strong dollar.

Apple Music and Apple TV+ are a small part of Apple’s services business, which also includes search licensing fees, hardware warranties, App Store sales, and other businesses.

Apple posted weaker-than-expected iPhone and services sales in its latest quarter, marring an otherwise upbeat report and sparking concerns about two areas that were expected to be highlights.

The iPhone, Apple’s flagship device, generated about US$42.6 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, the company said on Thursday (Oct 27). Analysts had estimated nearly US$42.7 billion.

Services - a key growth area in recent years - brought in US$19.2 billion. That was well short of the almost US$20 billion projection.

Though overall revenue was greater than expected, the results dashed hopes that Apple would have a blowout quarter and sidestep a broader tech slump.

With loyal customers still eager to snap up its pricey products, Apple was seen as an outlier.

The company also released its latest iPhone earlier in the year than usual, giving the fourth quarter a greater portion of sales from Apple’s flagship device.

The Cupertino, California-based company didn’t provide a revenue forecast for the current quarter, continuing an approach it adopted at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. But analysts estimate sales of about US$128 billion, which would be an all-time record.

Apple’s overall revenue grew 8.1 per cent to about US$90.1 billion in the fourth quarter, which ended Sep 24. That beat the US$88.6 billion estimate, because of better-than-expected growth in its Mac and wearables businesses.
