This summary was created by AI, based on 90 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) continues to generate mixed opinions among experts, highlighting its strong brand presence and cash generation capacity alongside ongoing concerns about its pace in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. The company boasts a substantial installed user base and maintains solid fundamentals yet experiences challenges with slow growth and high valuation multiples. Many analysts commend Apple's focus on services, which has contributed to higher margins and revenue stability, while others criticize its late entrance into the AI race. Recent product launches, particularly the iPhone 17, and solid performance in China have added optimism, though several experts remain cautious about its long-term growth trajectory and competitiveness in emerging technologies. As AAPL edges towards its projected price targets, the overarching sentiment reflects a wait-and-see approach regarding its AI strategy and market positioning.

SELL
The trouble with an enormously fast growing product, the growth rate is now slowing. There is loads of cash on the balance sheet. The question is where do they go from here. Take some profits.
BUY
With this pullback, it's a good time to get in.
DON'T BUY
Have been putting out great results and the stock has reflected this. Not a contrarian and play, so not one they would be interested in. There is a question if the Chinese would start producing a product similar to the iPod. A more contrarian play would be Gateway (GTW-N) which they own.
BUY
After selling his holdings in the mid-$70’s the is starting to buy back once more. Changing its business format to almost an entertainment company. It dominates the MP3 players and the iPods and gives them a platform to deliver content.
DON'T BUY
This is one of the largest mistakes in judgement that he sees in the marketplace. His model price is $38.74 which is a negative 55% differential.
SELL
Everything that has driven it recently has been the iPod. A wonderful product but not a wonderful stock at this point. The recording on iPod sales spilling over into Mac sales and this is not happening to the extent that they had hoped for. Starting to see a lot more competition.
DON'T BUY
From a valuation perspective, there is a lot of good news implied in the stock based on new products coming out that they have to deliver on. Highly valued at this time.
TOP PICK
Feels the market is focusing on them for their iPods and great computers. Feels their longer term theme is to become the digital hub of the home. Have some Intel based computers that are going to come in January/February which will present more significant upside. Also likes their iTunes software that they put out is now selling video content.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 25/05. Up 22%.) This story has momentum.
TOP PICK
Watched some growth stocks starting to perform well and this one immediately broke out to new highs. The leader in the growth part of the market. Have new products to be launched over the next 12 months.
DON'T BUY
On the valuation side, it looks extremely rich, priced to perfection. Trades in the range of 60 X earnings. Concensus is around $0.24/$0.25 today. Analysts have been upping their numbers, but even at $1 it's 40 X.
DON'T BUY
Earnings came in better than expected but the stock sold off on the news. That's a very negative thing to happen, not just for the stock, but all technology stocks on NASDAQ. It's signalling that something is not right.
BUY
The key is Apple software and the functionality driving it. Feels there is upside in market share of PC's and laptops. They have roughly 1% and feels it can be driven higher.
DON'T BUY
Trades at close to 60 X earnings which is very expensive for an electronics company. Really driven by the i-pod which is the taste of the day.
DON'T BUY
The weakness in the NASDAQ and the weakness in the sector has pulled it back. Although the fundamentals are very good, there is a risk of a technical correction at this time.
