According to investment bank, Wedbush, Apple's market value by the end of next year could reach $2 trillion. Wedbush technical analyst, Dan Ives said in a report on Monday: "Given the tailwind of 5G in the next few years and the development momentum of Apple's service industry, by the end of 2021, Apple is expected to be the first company with a market value of more than $2 trillion".

Ives, one of the biggest Apple bulls on Wall Street, raised its 12-month price target to $350. Ives believes that Apple's stock price will reach $400 by the end of this year. This is more than 30% up from Monday's closing price of $316.96. Apple's stock price has surged 86% in 2019 and is up 8% so far this year. It is pushing the market cap to a record $1.4 trillion.

Ives said that 2019 is just the beginning of the "transition 5G supercycle", and the market demand for iPhone 11 is stronger than expected. He also predicts that Apple's service business sales will reach $500 billion to $650 billion.

In addition, UBS on Tuesday raised Apple's target price from $280 to $355, citing "the outlook for the iPhone is more optimistic." DA. Davidson also raised Apple's target price to $375 on Monday. UBS's latest smartphone survey shows that more than 20% of respondents believe that 5G is a positive factor and that the willingness to purchase iPhones in different regions is also increasing.
