The release and iPad 2 and Jobs’ appearance in the iPad 2 conference has become global media attention. At the same time, Apple’s stock value reaches 333.1 billion. Since last May, Apple’s stock share has a 100 billion gap with Microsoft. Compared with No.1 Exxon Mobil, Apple has 100 billion to go, could iPad 2 help Apple to become No.1 stock value company in the world?
I would say, yes!
There is still a huge market potence in Tablet PC, which is far from being excited and released. According to RBC Capital Markets, the latest statistics show that, with global television, telephone, Internet, radio, newspapers and other user compared to smart phones and Tablet PC user base is the lowest. This means that the future of the Tablet PC market there is huge potential for growth. In addition, the pace of development point of view, since the iPad listing just 9 months, tablet PCs and smart mobile phones shipped in the fourth quarter of last year, the first time more than the traditional PC shipments. The Tablet PC can be seen reflected in the pace of development. Huge demand and the pace of development, to Apple iPad left enough room for growth markets.
In the coming five years, Tablet PC will grow faster than the popularization and development of people’s imagination, which offer ipad a vast space and opportunities.
Secondly, the Tablet PC market from the current competition of view, Apple’s iPad huge market in the future will still win most of the space market share. Last year, Apple iPad to 1,500 million units of sales dominated the market throughout the tablet PC 90% of the share. Although many opponents this year will be added to the competition in the tablet PC market, but iPad2 release and marketing strategies adopted, would have difficulty encountered in the real competitors, which, some analysts predict that this year iPad tablet PC market share will remain at 80% or so of absolute advantage, compared to last year despite 90% decline in market share, but in view of the tablet PC market demand, iPad actual shipments is much higher than last year . Expected in 2500 – 3,000 million between.
In addition, iPad in Apple’s position and impact, is also increasing. In iPad2 conference, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the market 9 months iPad sold 15 million units, and Apple has brought 9.5 billion dollars in revenue. Basis of this rough calculation, then, this year, iPad (original iPad , iPad2 ) Apple will bring 150 – 200 billion dollars in revenue. In fact, Apple’s latest 2011 report fiscal first quarter, quarter iPad revenues of 46.1 billion U.S. dollars, the second largest revenue as a Mac for the 54 billion U.S. dollars, the difference between the two 8 billion U.S. dollars, but do not forget Mac service has been in existence at Apple 20 years, and iPad listed only 9 months of this to illustrate the iPad in Apple’s share of the rapidly growing business, and secondly, is the future iPad is likely to be beyond the Mac , second only to Apple iPhone ‘s second-largest source of revenue and profits. In fact, the same is iPad2 the conference, Steve Jobs has iPad following as Apple iPod , iPhone , after the new mainstream business. Apple’s future growth is, iPad will be the top priority.
Jobs’ strategy is reasonable. Different from smart phone market, until now, iPad will not face strong rivals , and its revenue and profit in the creation of the difficulty is much smaller than on their own in the smartphone market in the iPhone . The Apple iPad revenue and profit on the cost of access to a much smaller growth rate but also much faster. In addition, according to Apple’s product strategy, and its iPad3 will come out this year or next year, which Apple will remain in the tablet PC market and leading power forward, and then make use of Apple iPad been profitable. Thus will the impact of Apple’s market value it?
Apple’s market value now 3331 billion U.S. dollars calculated, which according to the U.S. financial advisory firm Trefis stock model projections, the current Apple iPhone accounts for a weight of 52.7% ranked first, followed by the Mac , was 16.8% , in second place, while iPad to 7.3% in third. In view of the market demand, competitors analysis and iPad development strategy in the status of Apple, iPad would be for Apple’s stock price performance (market value) of the increase will play an increasing role. That is, its share will be increasing the weight and the increase in pulling its weight to increase its market value is far greater than this caused the Mac , or iPod weight reduction. This is the iPad tablet product represents a promising market expectations of the decision.
In summary, Apple may become top stock value company by iPad.
