Apple’s Capitalization Falls Below $2 Trillion
Apple’s stock fell about 3.7% – and that was enough to bring the company’s capitalization below the $2 trillion mark. The last time Apple stock was worth that much was in May 2021.
Negative Factors Affecting Apple
The year 2023 got off to a bad start for Apple. The company’s capitalization fell below $2 trillion – the first time since 2021. The company has faced a number of negative factors lately, which obviously haven’t gone unnoticed by investors. In late 2022, for example, there was much talk of delays in shipments of the hit iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max due to worsening epidemics in Zhengzhou, where the largest factory for these models is located.
And already this Monday, Nikkei Asia reported that Apple has notified several suppliers to cut production of components for AirPods, Apple Watch and MacBooks in the first quarter of 2023 due to weakening demand amid rising inflation in the United States and Europe.
