Unlike it's software-focused FAANG counterparts, Apple was more dependent on hardware and so more vulnerable, he said. Meanwhile Microsoft's stock surged 49%, against Apple's 13%, this year as the pandemic has increased demand for cloud-based software computing services.

Apple, which has repurchased $421.7 billion worth of shares over the years, had announced a massive $90 billion share buyback in April. As a result, the outstanding stock pool keeps shrinking, and the company ended its fiscal fourth quarter with 16.4 billion shares.
