APPLE INC.
Apple Inc. operates in the industry of radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing companies. The company is one of the largest companies in the world based on its global reach and market capitalization of approximately $542 billion (NASDAQ, 2016). The company generated revenues of about $234 billion in 2015, with net income of $53.4 billion and about 110,000 employees (Stock Analysis on Net, 2016). As of June 10, 2016, the company’s share price was at $98.83 (MorningStar, 2016), which according to the market feedback is grossly underpriced. This among other factors makes Apple Inc. an affordable stock well worth investing in.
Apple Inc.’s Revenues
From the beginning, Apple Inc.’s goal was to make sure they populate the world with their hardware and then sell to them software and services such as the highly popular music service dubbed iTunes, which was but the beginning. When the iPad joined the company’s portfolio of products, it came with expanding levels of video and apps offerings and as the company rallies to launch the Apple TV, the market should expect an array of service offerings in that direction. It is anticipated that once the company has developed and put in place all the hardware platforms planned, they will offer gaming, audio, and video services for competitive prices that would rival offers from competitors.
