Following the stock’s new all time high — Apple’s current $633.40B market cap makes it by far the world’s most valuable company — OptionMonster’s Pete Najarian said ticker has what it needs to continue printing higher highs.
“I think it’s going to $110,” he said. “I’ve said it for a long time, and now I’m starting to shift and think it’s going even higher because the stock has already moved off of this record launch that they had of this iPhone, when you look at the 6 and 6 Plus, internationally now 60% of their revenue drawn from that aspect of it as well.”
On CNBC’s “Fast Money,” Najarian also noted that Cupertino was “stealing back” some market share in the smartphone space.
“There’s a lot of reasons right now I think you can like Apple,” he said. “And I think when you really get through the holiday season, this stock’s not going to go to $110. I think we see $120.”
