Apple: Data Points to Potential Pressure on Growth
Summary
Eagle Alpha’s Search Signal for Apple has deteriorated significantly in recent months. This has implications for iPhone and other products. Confirming this trend is weakness in the volume of Twitter mentions related to the last two versions of the iPhone. Both signals are very weak in what should be a seasonally strong period.
Eagle Alpha Insight
Weakness in consumer interest for the latest iPhone implies a lack of demand. This is likely to be reflected in unit sales of the latest devices. The company will need to see significant ASP gains to support revenue growth.
