Apple Suppliers and Ecosphere Players Get Hit on Earnings
Published:
Last Updated:
By now you know the news that is driving Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) lower and lower, but the earnings report and lower margins have an interesting side-effect here even if Apple is still growing. The margin pressures that Apple is facing and the notion that 61% of its sales are international sales now will likely create a scenario that is bad for the stocks that supply Apple and the companies in the ecosphere as Apple is likely to become even more predatory and intrusive on pricing. That means that suppliers of Apple’s competitors are likely to face pressure from end-user and OEM clients as well even if the companies do not supply components for Apple directly.
