Apart from this stock dip, earning of all the companies were pretty much good in last quarter, that is why many analysts are asserting that this a temporary dip and all will be good as time goes by, however, on the other hand, some investors are very much concerned about the dip.

Apple’s stocks may have dipped but the tech behemoth is performing well in the wearable market along with another mobile manufacturing company Xiaomi.
