AroniSmartLytics™ Analysis: Apple behaves like several stocks, but not the same

Based on the analysis, it was found that most of these stocks basically follow similar trends. Also, they are all impacted by the market conditions. However, the analysis found important nuances. 

Key findings started with a positive view:  most of the stocks had an upward momentum over the period. However, like the general stock market, they faced a slowdown and high volatility in Q1-Q2 2020 before starting a bounce back. Trendwise, since  May  2020, the stocks have been on a catching up journey  reaching the previous price levels.

 AroniSmartLytics™ modelling (see results on the Apple Close Price Drivers screen shot ), shows the prices of the stocks that  appear to mirror each other: a high opening for  the stocks that tends to lead a decline or slow down in  Apple's closing price and a high opening for  the stocks that tends to lead an increase or growth in  Apple's closing price.  Q2-Q4 2019 and Q2 - Jul 2020 dynamics appear to positively impact Apple's prices, whereas Q1 has been challenging.

Apple (AAPL) appears  to build  a momentum similar to that of MSFT, BAC, HD, LOW, WORK  and to some extent TWTR and GOOG. At the same time, the upside of Apple appears not to align with the prices of NFLX, WMT, MRNA, and TSLA.
