Best Stocks To Invest In 2019

tags:SATS,PODD,KLXI,BIOS,TEL,NFEC, What happened

Shares of several Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) suppliers fell hard in April of 2018, either in direct response to Cupertino's business results or due to comments made by the iPhone maker's executives.

According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, audio chip supplier Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ:CRUS) fell 10.2% lower in April including a 7% dip in three days as analysts pondered the future of Apple's iPhone plans. Screen builder LG Display (NYSE:LPL) saw a 10.7% month-long dip, and memory chip giant Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) took an 11.8% haircut last month. For Apple's own part, its share prices fell 7% in three days but recovered to post a 1.5% total dip for the month -- slightly stronger than the broader market's 2.6% decline.

So what

Before Apple's earnings report at the end of April, it looked like the iPhone X was running into supply chain issues that should put a lid on the sales volume. Build rates calculated by third-party analysts on the back of checks and analysis further down the supply chain indicated that Apple would slash its iPhone X production to about 60% of the expected volume. For example, LG Display and its peers only got 25 million orders for iPhone X-style OLED screens in the first quarter, down from early estimates of roughly 40 million.

Medtronic uses its own CGM in its system, but competing systems incorporate DexCom's CGMs. In June, Tandem Diabetes (NASDAQ:TNDM) secured FDA approval for a solution that pairs its insulin pump up with the G6.
