This summary was created by AI, based on 84 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. continues to dominate the technology landscape, showcasing robust sales, especially with its recent iPhone launch. Despite the positive momentum, many analysts express concern over its valuation, pointing out that the stock is trading at a high price-to-earnings ratio, often above 30x. There are mixed sentiments regarding its approach to artificial intelligence, with some experts praising Apple's strategy of allowing other companies to invest heavily while it benefits from their advancements. However, there's a prevailing worry that rising component costs and pricing strategies may dampen consumer demand for new products. Finally, while the company has significant cash flow and dividends, the overall outlook remains cautious as investors anticipate clarity on Apple's AI strategy and future product developments.

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.
PAST TOP PICK
Ipod is an amazing addition, which causes a halo effect on the company. Still holding
DON'T BUY
Success of Ipod had shown great growths. Risks may be that Ipod sales slow due to fashion.
TOP PICK
Has just hit the sweet spot. The iPod has absolutely taken over. Has got mileage.
DON'T BUY
History of free cash flow and return on equity is what tells you if a stock is good to own. Microsoft (MSFT-Q) outperforms Apple both in stock and underlying value. After their success with the iPod their revenue level is back to roughly where it was 10 years ago. Also, their net income is lower than where it was 10 years ago.
BUY
A poster child for a great business. Continued expectations from an earnings standpoint which the company keeps beating handily. There's been an acceleration in the growth rate from both revenue and earnings.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Apple has really transformed itself. The multiple is pretty high, so wait for a dip before buying. It has momentum and the market loves momentum.
TOP PICK
Feels that everything is absolutely falling into place for the time being. Has all the extra products, extra usage by others. Could see a double from here.
DON'T BUY
Taking into account their balance sheet and earnings ($1.53 for Sept/05 and $1.89) plus interest rates, they arrive at a model price of $34. You are paying a lot for the growth.
BUY
The iPod is doing particularily well. Analysts, quarter after quarter, are underestimating the strength of the sales. Also, people buying iPods are migrating to the Apple base computers.
