Cupertino, California-based Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has recently been in the news, mostly for the right reasons. Barring the chatter regarding its appeal against the European Union's $14B tax charge, Apple is enjoying a lot of positive buzz with respect to its next iPhone launch. The result has been positive commentary from multiple wall street analysts and a rising stock price. Apple stock price is up over 18% in the year-to-date, outperforming the Nasdaq Composite (INDEX:COMPX) as well as S&P 500 (INDEX:SPAL) in the same time frame. Apple stock has rallied 51% since the May 2016 lows, closing the last trading session at a price of $136.7 per share. The AAPL rally has, so far, been fuelled in a large part by a stronger-than-expected performance of the iPhone segment in the holiday quarter and the rapidly growing Apple services segment. However, we think the stock could be headed further higher driven by a growing bullishness among investors and potential for an iPhone 8-driven super-cycle.
