The stock market did not have Apple and Microsoft took advantage of it!
Microsoft has managed to dislodge Apple as the most precious public company in the worldIn recent days. Although this is not the first time it happens, it has happened at a particularly delicate moment for the company of the bite apple. The drastic drop in the price of its shares in four consecutive days was the determining factor, widely fired by the growing concern of investors to the intensification of the price war of President Donald Trump with China, the main center for assembly of iphones.
Stock exchange caused Apple’s market capitalization is $ 2.59 billion At the end of Tuesday, Compared to $ 2.64 billion Microsoft.
Microsoft exceeds Apple as the most precious public society in the world
In the last four sessions on the stock market, Trump's announcement, Apple shares have dropped by about 23%, evaporating the figure of $ 700,000 million from their value.
This movement of panic between investors reflects the deep concern for the significant exposure of Apple to China, both in terms of manufacturing and sales and the inevitable increase in their devices, which was projected up to 43% more for products such as iPhone.
Although the market in general has experienced turbulence after the announcement of substantial prices for imports of more than a hundred countries, the NASDAQ composite index decreased by 13% during the same period, Apple's debacle has exceeded that of other major technologies. His particular dependence on the commercial relationship between the two economic powers places him in a higher risk position.
Microsoft seems to be relatively more protected from the worst effects of pricesUnlike Apple's situation, even indicated by Jefferies analysts as one of the best companies positioned to cope with current economic uncertainty.
Apple Plan B
Apple actively explored the Diversification of its production in countries like India and VietnamBut reaching the level of complexity and the scale of its supply chain makes it a rapid transfer outside China is impracticable in the short term.
This reality contrasts with President Trump's statements, which was “completely” convinced of Apple's ability to make its iPhones and other devices on American soil. For its part, the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, has recognized in the past that the experience and the extent of Chinese manufacturing are unparalleled worldwide.
Apple's high dependence on Chinese manufacturing has made an easy target in this tariff wargenerating concerns among investors and increasing serious doubts about the future price of their products.
Although in Trump's first term, there have been negotiations to benefit from the exception in this regard, so far, we do not know if there is a similar possibility. Until now, Apple's only confirmed measure has been to order the withdrawal of a number of Chinese units to send them to the United States and Import more smartphones in its installations in India.
