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

Apple Inc. (AAPL) continues to be a dominant player in the technology market, with strong brand loyalty and a massive ecosystem of services driving its revenue growth. While the company is experiencing single-digit growth rates, its strategic approach of allowing other firms to lead in innovation, especially in AI, suggests a potential for future gains once Apple fully capitalizes on these advancements. Analysts remain divided on the stock's valuation, with many pointing to high price-to-earnings multiples. Despite some concerns about disappointing performance in AI and hardware innovation, the company is recognized for its solid cash flow generation and strong balance sheet, which positions it well for future opportunities. Overall, the sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with many experts recommending to hold or gradually buy into the stock, as significant upside may still exist in the long term.

HOLD
Held up better than a lot of names, down only 18-19%. Decent valuation. More a margin business than revenue growth, though earnings growth is quite strong. When you buy a tech company, you want both strong revenue and earnings growth, and AAPL doesn't have the revenue growth.
DON'T BUY
He worries that their services revenue will decelerate to single-digit growth; they face a strong USD and problems with China.
DON'T BUY
Apple will meet its numbers, but won't blow them away. They have a lot of exposure to forex, nearly 65%, while the USD is so strong. That's a concern. Pricing and manufacturing have slowed. It bears single-digit growth and trades at 23x PE, which is higher than the market's. He's not super excited about it.
BUY

Tech in general has been beaten badly because of interest rates. Has a strong balance and cash level to withstand market pressures. Good to own long term. The valuation pullback makes this very attractive.

BUY
Up 1.1% in Q3. Wall Street likes to churn out empty negativity. Apple always defies its critics. Ignore the negativity and buy this for a long hold.
DON'T BUY
Trading at 23x PE and he thinks it will fall to 21x, even 18x. Apple is no longer a tech stock, but ALSO a consumer electronics stock. This is a problem, because CE margins eventually will get compressed. Tech itself remains a growth story, but the PEs are too high. So, he prefers companies with less growth, but more cash flow.
PARTIAL SELL
Still owns Apple, but sold some last week, because its multiple won't expand and will stay in the low-20s. It's kind of a mature company.
BUY
A decline? Lower iPhone orders or just longer lead times? In fact, demand is so strong, deliver times are pushing into November--and that includes China. DEmand for the Apple Watch is also strong. ALl these negative stories are crazy, nothing to do with anything. Sure, there are short-term concerns, but a fine stock to own long-term. His bull case is rooted in Apple being all about innovation; their expansion into stores and back-up storage; their amazing eco-system as reflected in their dedicated customer base. It's the greatest stock of all time.
BUY
There is no important slowdown at Apple. Things are on plan. Every new iPhone meets these slag stories--today it was cutbacks for orders for the new iPhone. Instead, focus on customer satisfaction (over 1 billion in the customer base). Don't trade Apple, but own it for the long haul.
BUY
The market is oversold, no doubt, but Apple is an outlier in megacap tech, but it hasn't off like the sector (or the market) has.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 14/21, Up 6%) Has outperformed the market and fintech stocks, down double digits. Apple is down 15% from its high. Not chasing it but would add on pullbacks. They just announced a new iPhone last week and demand is strong so far. Pricing is kind of flat in North America, which is good, though pricing will rise elsewhere. App pricing will rise in Europe and Asia. Apple is like a utility in terms of replacement demand. Demand for services is also strong, and Apple has a huge 1.3 billion subscriber base. Very profitable.
BUY
He broke or lost his Apple Watch while on vacation, so went to the Apple Store where he heard there was a lot of consumer interest in the iPhone 14. Shares popped nearly 4% today, by the way. Without your iPhone, you are lost. Own Apple shares and don't trade them. Apple fans understand the company better than the analysts. The whole world has adapted to those phone and are lifers--they won't let go.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Release of new iPhone very important news. Didn't increase price of new phone which is a good sign. Satellite business will be interesting to watch. Believes is a good long term business to own. Wait to buy shares when stock price decreases. Most of organic growth has already occurred in company (law of large numbers).
COMMENT
Just because it's an important stock doesn't mean it has to lead the market in returns. Apple can crash or lag or be flat. But Apple can't drop bombshell news this year, like problems in China. Over 5 years, Apple has risen 675% over 10 year vs. S&P's 240%.
COMMENT
It could very well become a dead weight, not moving much either way.
