Apple remains among the most preferable stocks category given multiple reasons to rely on. The tech giant showcased significant growth in its earnings per share (EPS)—which grew about 28% every year compounded over three years. And investors generally tend to fall towards the company with growing EPS.
In October 2022, Apple Inc. brought up its full year earnings. Apple stock’s EPS was reported 6.16 USD, up from 5.67 USD in 2021.

This is expected to push the revenue by 20 billion USD. Additionally, the company is likely to look towards Apple’s electric car, adding up another 36 billion USD worth revenue.
