So what

Shares of Apple ( AAPL -0.94% ) were trading down 2.4% as of 12:21 p.m. ET on Thursday after the company pushed back its return to the office for employees, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal . The recent rise in COVID-19 cases can be to blame, which also forced Apple to close three retail stores due to a spike in new cases.

Now what

Investors are high on Apple's near-term prospects. The company is coming off a strong fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report, where iPhone revenue surged 47% year over year to nearly $39 billion. Investors are also enthusiastic about the services business, which grew 25% and should contribute to improving margins over the long term.

Premium Investing Services

Looking ahead to next year, Apple is expected to launch a cheaper iPhone 5G model at a relatively low price point of $399 that could win over new converts from Android.
