Morgan Stanley Is Optimistic about Apple (AAPL) Stock
Morgan Stanley had originally predicted that April will be the big month for App store. Katy has said that the new price rises will be a regular thing. These will be driven by higher levels of engagement.
Katy used data from Sensor Tower to draw parallels regarding App store performances by country. Similar levels in growth rates were seen for all top locations for app sales except France, Japan, Taiwan, U.S and Canada, and South Korea.
Outside the top ten clusters, other markets saw a combined 47% growth. The biggest contributor to revenue growth was the mobile gaming niche. Mobile gaming saw a 38% rise in May. Mobiel games generate about 68% of App store revenue.
a trend may be forming along these lines. We may be seeing a new path for northward revenues for Apple revenue. China which has recovered the most from the COVID-19 pandemic is showing signs of continued revenue.
Katy said that
“Barring any unexpected changes in consumer behavior, we believe App Store net revenue growth in China can accelerate once again next month.”
This shows that the patterns of behavior introduced during the movement restrictions are taking root.
The app ecosystem appears to have recovered fully. App revenue per download from February to April declined. in May these revenues are up by 12%.
Morgan Stanley has revised its revenue forecasts for 2020 and 2021 to $54.1 billion and $63.7 billion based on App store revenues.
