This summary was created by AI, based on 91 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. has showcased resilience in its financial performance despite concerns over its lack of an aggressive AI strategy compared to competitors. While the company has maintained a strong balance sheet and impressive cash flow, analysts have mixed views on its growth potential, with many concerned about flat revenue and the high price-to-earnings ratios. The recent launch of the iPhone 17 and strong sales in China indicate that Apple can still perform well, but fears of stagnation in innovation linger. Experts suggest that Apple adopts a cautious wait-and-see approach regarding AI developments, favoring a strategy of entering markets after initial incumbents face challenges. The overall sentiment indicates confidence in Apple's long-term brand strength but skepticism about short-term gains.

BUY
Free cash flow is $110 billion a year, so there is ongoing return of capital to shareholders. This offers security in an insecure market.
BUY
Tech estimates have gone up this year and are too high. Valuations are at 26x, a huge premium to the mark, and growth outlooks are too aggressive. There will continue to be a divergence between quality and low quality tech.

COMMENT
Strategy by tech analyst Carolyn Boroden Based on recent movement and past highs, Boroden feels that Apple needs to break its $172 ceiling resistance to go higher. Apple has rallied more than $44 since the June 16 low. Not good, because this $44 rise happened to Apple before--this is a pattern. Based on that last rally, $172 is resistance. But if share break that ceiling, Apple will run up to $197.60. She's concerned with Apple this week, but if Apple gets through this week, she is bullish.
BUY
Apple vs. GM as a legacy investment for grandkids Apple has more legs than GM. GM is a cyclical, well-positioned at the beginning of a new cycle for EVs. Obviously, supply chains issues have made it hard to satisfy demand. GM is good short-term, but he prefers Apple long term. They have 1.5 billion installed devices around the world with a roughly 95% loyalty rate. As we move into 5G, we will see new developments for Apple who invest heavily in R&D.
BUY
Apple has a 7.3% weighting on the S&P. Even with the tech sell-off, Apple has gotten stronger. She has been selling tech stocks, but the S&P won't rally until tech rallies. Not financials. You still need to own technology.
COMMENT
She likes the company, but it is hitting the upper bound of valuation--too high. But if more money flows into the S&P, then the company is a pretty big piece of that index and move up even as its valuation rises too. She owns it, but is underweight.
STRONG BUY
They're brilliant in finding ways to get their loyal customer base to buy the next iPhone. Fabulous. He's a big fan of Apple--its devices, cloud services, ad services and Apple stores. They have a mountain of cash, too. Will it be a legacy company in 30 years? Hard to say. He can't see that far in the future.
BUY
They report Wednesday. They do huge business in China (hurt by Covid) and Europe (hurt by Russia's insane expansionism). Apple is viewed as safe because its services business acts like an annuity. Own it, don't trade it.
COMMENT
He predicts Apple will miss its next quarter. A coin flip, though. Weak consumer confidence may see a decline in buying Apple's expensive products. If you own Apple, sell some covered calls. If not, buy puts which are pretty cheap. They expire next week, so you can them before Apple's next quarter.
COMMENT
The risks over the next 3 quarters: 1) supply chain delays, 2) services revenue. There may be a decline in the latter, given the weak consumer confidence numbers as food and gas prices rise, but these are coming down now. She can't predict when China will end its zero-tolerance policy towards Covid, but if China has 0-2% GDP this quarter, then this situation will change. Apple has guided very conservatively, so an improvement in China will be a serious tailwind.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It pulled back over 20% at one point. She's been starting partial positions on down days. She likes this long-term. Their phone user base is a great background to lay on services which total 20% of its revenues but a third of its operating profits. Services are recurring, tool. Also, the PE is better now. Great long-term hold.
BUY
His largest holding. When it drops, he buys more; when it blossoms, he trims. Warned on supply chain, Ukraine, and USD issues. Some of this should reverse as we head into 2023. Reasonable valuation at just over 20x earnings. Excited by new products. One of the world's best businesses. He's buying.
COMMENT
The bad news for megatech is that they haven't gone down as much as the wider market. Those tech ones that have held up the best sp far, eventually fall down. True, Meta and Netflix are down by half. Last quarter, Amazon reported negative sales and might again. Note that 18% of Apple's business comes from China, so what is the impact of China's lockdowns? Will other consumer plunk down that much money for a notebook amid this economy. The headwinds are real, but we are close to ending this bear market.
