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.

COMMENT
Investors were hiding here, but now it's just another stock, down with the rest of the market and other megacaps. Valuation and supply chain wasn't easy this year, but investors were comfortable hiding out here. No surprise it's selling off to new 52-week lows, given share price relative to expected growth.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Apple vs. Tesla in 2023 Tesla has under 10% EV market share in China where many companies are building EVs, so China isn't that much of a growth engine though many feel that is. Musk is telling employees to ignore Tesla's stock action, but TSLA is the biggest stock crash in recent months. Stocks like this simply don't come back. There's a good chance Musk won't be CEO 12 months from now and TSLA will be viewed as a car company (slowing growth) but lacking the craziness of its current CEO. That said, . It will probably rally soon and sharply, making this a great short to stock. He prefers Apple, but at $110 in coming months.
BUY
Apple vs. Tesla in 2023 Apple is now trading reasonably at a market PE of 18x 2023PE. At least, there's light at the end of the tunnel, given its innovative history. Tesla has been a shorting stocks recently. He chooses Apple by a landslide.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
They can't get enough product before Christmas. Own it, don't trade it, but shares will go lower before they turn higher.

TOP PICK
Headwinds it's facing are transitory. Down 23%, the most since 2008. Growth is coming from wearables and the service side. High-margin service side will smooth out issues on the hardware side. People are underestimating its ability. Really likes it, you should buy it. Yield is 0.69%. (Analysts’ price target is $173.61)
DON'T BUY
He always felt it's expensive. It's now trading at 21x 2024 at a 6% growth rate. Tech earnings will still come down, so Google, Amazon and Nuvei are better tech names.
HOLD
Loves its sticky user base, US retention rates of over 90%. Short-term iPhone production issues, but restrictions are lifting. Diversifying production away from China. Trying to move to a subscription model for services, which currently provide only 20% of sales. Mid-single digit revenue growth, not a lot of leverage in the model, not cheap at 23x. Great company, great products, could reach $175 in next 12-18 months.
WEAK BUY
Likes it, but isn't buying it now, because Apple is protected by major telcos offering Apple phones.

BUY
AAPL is a good, long-term, stable company with real earnings for the future.
BUY
Will we see snapback for handsets? She is surprised; she expected a flat reaction to their latest quarter and not this bounce. Why? Apple has China supply problems. Yet, they saw a sharp snapback in Mac sales this quarters, after two quarters of challenging supply chains.Half of the new Mac buyers this quarter were new buyers--this indicates sustainable brand reach and sustains Apple's premium. Most importantly, China will be Apple's inflection point. So, if we see a similar snapback for phones for the next few quarters, this could change the thesis.
COMMENT
What Tim Cook did was extraordinary--changing the OS model to make it hard to track ads for Facebook. Today, Apple is punching above its weight today.
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.
