Analysts’ recommendations for the stock

Apple’s got off to a strong start this year after reporting solid December quarter earnings and a record high for the stock.

But with the outbreak of the coronavirus and its spread across the world, Apple said it won’t be able to meet its revenue guidance for the March quarter.

Apple’s stock has fallen nearly 19% from its record high. 

Analysts said there will be continued near-term impact from the virus but believe Apple will be able to reach record highs in the next 12 months. 

I would recommend to buy Apple’s stock since the stock rebounded since the coronavirus crash the stock market in late February.
