Introduction
Apple (AAPL) is the world's largest technology company in terms of market capitalization and generated over $54 billion in revenues in the last fiscal year. However, the stock has been under pressure over the last few months due to growth and competition concerns. Apple has a sizeable market share of the US market and is now putting more resources in expanding into other big countries like India and China. The company has managed to win substantial share of India's smartphone market in recent times due to aggressive financing and marketing schemes. The company management has been equally aggressive in China, which it hopes will surpass USA as its No.1 market in the near future.
