Analysts expect Apple&#39;s revenue to increase just 6% year over year in the fiscal first quarter to $118.4 billion. The company had recorded a 21% year-over-year increase in revenue in the same quarter last year to $111.4 billion and finished fiscal 2021 with a 33% spike in full-year revenue to $365.8 billion.</p><p>Higher rates encourage investors to shift their money from high-risk companies to relatively safer investments such as bonds. Additionally, higher interest rates increase borrowing costs that could hurt the bottom line, which is something investors don&#39;t want to see in richly valued stocks.</p><p>Throw in the fact that Apple was suffering from supply chain problems during the holiday season, and the odds seem to be stacked against the iPhone maker when it releases its results. Does this mean that investors should start selling Apple stock before its earnings report? Or should they take advantage of the dip and buy more? Let&#39;s find out.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf6c8044b6be822b386c5b3a843a3269\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p><p>The company&#39;s earnings, on the other hand, are expected to increase only 12% year over year during the quarter. For comparison, Apple had clocked a 71% increase in adjusted earnings in fiscal 2021 to $5.61 per share.</p><p>What&#39;s more worrying is that Apple&#39;s growth could slow down meaningfully this fiscal year. Analysts are expecting just 4.5% revenue growth in fiscal 2022 to $382.3 billion, while earnings are expected to increase just 2.3% to $5.74 per share. The potential interest rate hikes could add to the gloom and keep Apple from repeating its stellar stock market performance of the past three years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11ba7a63e0cfa2640c7dfe923a3a0c35\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AAPL DATA BY YCHARTS</span></p><p>So, there are quite a few reasons why investors may want to sell Apple stock before its earnings report. However, savvy investors should focus on the bigger picture as the company could spring a surprise, both in the short and in the long run.</p><p><b>Reasons to buy Apple stock</b></p><p>It would be a bad idea to write off Apple given the way it is dominating the 5G smartphone market. Strategy Analytics reports that Apple has been the top 5G smartphone vendor ever since it launched its first 5G-enabled device in the fourth quarter of 2020. More specifically, Apple controlled 26% of the 5G smartphone market in the third quarter of 2021, and it is unlikely that it would be giving up the pole position any time soon.</p><p>That&#39;s because Apple has a huge installed base of users in an upgrade window that are waiting to get their hands on a 5G iPhone. Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives estimates that around 230 million iPhone users haven&#39;t upgraded their phones in the past three and a half years, which means that Apple&#39;s sales can start picking up once its supply chain problems are sorted.</p><p>The good part is that Wall Street sees an improvement in Apple&#39;s supply chain.<b>Wells Fargo</b> analysts have raised their price target on Apple stock to $205, which points toward a 26% potential upside from Friday&#39;s close. Analyst Aaron Rakers says that a combination of supply chain improvements and robust demand for Apple&#39;s products could help it sustain its growth momentum.</p><p>CFRA Research also maintains a similar view, stating that supply constraints are likely to ease in the first half of the year and Apple is on track to gain market share in markets such as China. Not surprisingly, analysts believe that the tech giant could outperform expectations. Katy Huberty of <b>Morgan Stanley</b> estimates that Apple sold 83 million iPhones last quarter and outperformed expectations of 80 million units.</p><p>Additionally, Apple is expected to sell 55 million iPhones in the current quarter as per Huberty, which would land ahead of the market&#39;s expectations. So, Apple could exceed expectations when it releases its earnings report, and that could help the stock regain its mojo. More importantly, the tech stock could sustain its momentum in the future as well since it is sitting on several mouthwatering catalysts.</p><p>In all, a strong report and a robust outlook could send the stock soaring and make it more expensive. That&#39;s why investors can consider buying Apple&#39;s dip heading into its quarterly report as it is trading at 29 times trailing earnings now, a small discount to the 31.6 times earnings it was trading at last year.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Analysts expect Apple's revenue to increase just 6% year over year in the fiscal first quarter to $118.4 billion. The company had recorded a 21% year-over-year increase in revenue in the same quarter last year to $111.4 billion and finished fiscal 2021 with a 33% spike in full-year revenue to $365.8 billion.Higher rates encourage investors to shift their money from high-risk companies to relatively safer investments such as bonds. Additionally, higher interest rates increase borrowing costs that could hurt the bottom line, which is something investors don't want to see in richly valued stocks.Throw in the fact that Apple was suffering from supply chain problems during the holiday season, and the odds seem to be stacked against the iPhone maker when it releases its results. Does this mean that investors should start selling Apple stock before its earnings report? Or should they take advantage of the dip and buy more? Let's find out.IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.The company's earnings, on the other hand, are expected to increase only 12% year over year during the quarter. For comparison, Apple had clocked a 71% increase in adjusted earnings in fiscal 2021 to $5.61 per share.What's more worrying is that Apple's growth could slow down meaningfully this fiscal year. Analysts are expecting just 4.5% revenue growth in fiscal 2022 to $382.3 billion, while earnings are expected to increase just 2.3% to $5.74 per share. The potential interest rate hikes could add to the gloom and keep Apple from repeating its stellar stock market performance of the past three years.AAPL DATA BY YCHARTSSo, there are quite a few reasons why investors may want to sell Apple stock before its earnings report. However, savvy investors should focus on the bigger picture as the company could spring a surprise, both in the short and in the long run.Reasons to buy Apple stockIt would be a bad idea to write off Apple given the way it is dominating the 5G smartphone market. Strategy Analytics reports that Apple has been the top 5G smartphone vendor ever since it launched its first 5G-enabled device in the fourth quarter of 2020. More specifically, Apple controlled 26% of the 5G smartphone market in the third quarter of 2021, and it is unlikely that it would be giving up the pole position any time soon.That's because Apple has a huge installed base of users in an upgrade window that are waiting to get their hands on a 5G iPhone. Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives estimates that around 230 million iPhone users haven't upgraded their phones in the past three and a half years, which means that Apple's sales can start picking up once its supply chain problems are sorted.The good part is that Wall Street sees an improvement in Apple's supply chain.Wells Fargo analysts have raised their price target on Apple stock to $205, which points toward a 26% potential upside from Friday's close. Analyst Aaron Rakers says that a combination of supply chain improvements and robust demand for Apple's products could help it sustain its growth momentum.CFRA Research also maintains a similar view, stating that supply constraints are likely to ease in the first half of the year and Apple is on track to gain market share in markets such as China. Not surprisingly, analysts believe that the tech giant could outperform expectations. Katy Huberty of Morgan Stanley estimates that Apple sold 83 million iPhones last quarter and outperformed expectations of 80 million units.Additionally, Apple is expected to sell 55 million iPhones in the current quarter as per Huberty, which would land ahead of the market's expectations. So, Apple could exceed expectations when it releases its earnings report, and that could help the stock regain its mojo. More importantly, the tech stock could sustain its momentum in the future as well since it is sitting on several mouthwatering catalysts.In all, a strong report and a robust outlook could send the stock soaring and make it more expensive. That's why investors can consider buying Apple's dip heading into its quarterly report as it is trading at 29 times trailing earnings now, a small discount to the 31.6 times earnings it was trading at last year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":536,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"followers","isTTM":true}
