Why is APPLE seemingly immune to economic downturn?

An $Apple(AAPL)$a day, keeps the market losses away! Seems like Apple investors are making gains in the past 2 to 3 months, all thanks to better than expected sales and profits during the earnings announcement in July.

So what is keeping Apple so resistant to tightened consumer spending?

1) Product diversification - apart from their usualelectronics, they are ramping up on their serviceseg. Apple TV+, Apple Music, iCloud and more. This drives consumer stickiness to the brand as a whole. It also reduces the impact of decline in any product lines when it happens.

2) Strong cash position - with a huge stash of cash sitting in the business, Apple can take advantage of good investment opportunities during such recessionary times.

3) Relentless innovation - regardless of economycycles, Apple is constantly innovating to give consumers better phones, better music and more. Continuous improvement keeps consumer excited!

All in all, I personally see Apple as a strong business now and in the future as well. All the best to all Apple investors in the Tiger community!

      Looking at the array of differentiating products, apple still has a long way to go in terms of growth. So i will continue averaging in:)

    Strong fundamentals but risk of over reliance on iPhone
