NEW YORK - Apple Inc, which later on Monday is expected to unveil a television and movie streaming service, is also working on a games subscription service for its App Store, Bloomberg reported on Monday, citing people with knowledge of the plans. The gaming service will not challenge new cloud-based streaming offerings such as Alphabet Inc’s Google Stadia. Instead, it will focus on iPhones and iPads and bundle together paid games from different developers that consumers can access for a monthly fee, according to the Bloomberg report.
Hollywood celebrities are expected to trek to Apple’s Cupertino, California, home to greet the debut of a revamped Apple TV digital storefront. Apple has commissioned programming from A-list names such as Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg.

Apple streaming event 'could trigger a sell-off,' says BTIGBTIG analyst Walt Piecyk wrote Monday that Apple Inc.'s upcoming launch of its streaming-media service "could trigger a sell-off in the stock." The company is scheduled to make an announcement on Monday at 1 p.m. ET, which is widely expected to concern the company's efforts in streaming video. "We believe there is little that Apple can say at its event today that will satisfy media skeptics," Piecyk wrote. He said that sell-offs have become typical following Apple events. "Most of today's criticism will probably be accurate but viewed through a short term lens," Piecyk wrote, including that it's difficult and expensive to become a formidable media player. He argued that the company shouldn't look toward a big acquisition as a way to bolster its content ambitions. Nonetheless, he boosted his price target to $220 from $189 in his Monday note, writing that the outlook for Apple's 2020 earnings looks favorable relative to the S&P 500 . Apple shares have jumped 30% in the past three months, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen 17%.
