A longtime Apple analyst says Apple stock is on pace for its best year since 2009, but it has room to run higher in 2020.

Gene Munster, Loup Ventures:

There are five reasons why we believe Apple will be the top-performing FANNG stock in 2020. When compared to other tech and services companies, we consider the fair value for AAPL to be $350-$400. For example, applying FB’s current year multiple to shares of AAPL suggests a $395 share price. We believe the base case of $350 (21% upside) is achievable in 2020 and $400 (38% upside) is achievable sometime in 2021 (38% upside).

5 reasons why:

    1. Easy iPhone Comps
    2. Continued Growth in Apple Watch
    3. Five New iPhone Models in 2020
    4. Investor Anticipation of 5G
    5. AAPL Will Be Rewarded With a Proper Tech Multiple

    1. Let’s not forget that Steve Jobs himself said “I finally cracked It,” (discovered/invented a new TV solution). This was back in ’11 and as of yet, such a manifestation is still elusive.

      I’m not excusing Gene’s prediction…just adding a little context.

  1. Back in December 2007, Apple’s Stock was at around $200. By December 2008, after the crash, it went down to $85. (Note: these prices were prior to the 7 for 1 stock split of 2014) . . . I reference this time frame, because today’s prognostications (AAPL will hit $400 ! ) are similar to the “forecasts” we heard back in 2007 . . . at some point the market will crash (it always does), the question I have is how much AAPL will drop.
