Jun 7, 2026, 12:00 amThis 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.

TOP PICK
Bought it in 2006. Trading now 20% off its highs, so now is a good time to enter. Shares are down because of the shutdown in China from supply and customer standpoints, but CEO Tim Cook comes from a supply chain background and will navigate this. They have 1.5 billion installed devices globally at a 93% loyalty rate. Do the math. They have a captive market and are innovative, spending nearly $20 billion annually in R&D. They produce $90 billion in free cash flow annually and over $100 billion in revenue this quarter. They bought back $27 billion shares in the March quarter.

DON'T BUY
Owns Meta and MSFT instead among FAANG. Meta trades at 12x, so he recently added more. Meta is a hated company, but look long-term. MSFT is a very strong business. Apple has some hit or miss risk when they bring new products to market. Certainly is a cash cow. A strong company. Tough to grow a company this massive.

BUY
Now trading at a forward PE of 22x vs. the S&P's 15.5x It depends on the growth rate, whether they continue to execute. A higher growth rate deserves a higher PE. Higher input costs will effect profits, but look at the discount now compared to a year ago. Yes, he would continue to buy this and tech names like this.

TOP PICK
A great opportunity. Don't often get a chance to buy on the cheap. Such a long runway to price target. Phenomenal moat. Extremely profitable. Still a high bar on innovation. High margins on services, about 67%. Yield is 0.69%. (Analysts’ price target is $184.42)

COMMENT
Apple vs. BCE for income Certainly, BCE generates income (he owns it), despite minimal revenue growth, though it's well-run. 5G may give it a bump. Pays a super yield. You don't buy Apple for income (the yield is low), but rather it's a growth company. The two stocks are yin-and-yang, but offer good diversity in a portfolio.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 16/21, Down 2%) Apple remains a core tech holding, though she trimmed shares around $178 earlier this year. She is adding more shares now in this pullback. Apple has a customer base of 1 billion phone users and offers many services to them like music, fitness and TV. These offers high margins and recurring revenues. Apple is innovative and will continue to add new services and products.

BUY
Rising USD will hurt all exporters, but it's not a fundamental issue. Warned on this quarter. One of the greatest businesses the world has ever seen. AR stuff in 3-5 years. Products we can't live without. It's fallen a lot, hard to time a buy exactly. Happy to own for the long term.

BUY
21x earnings, small yield. Uses free cashflow to buy back shares. Incredible growth in services. Next quarter or two might be difficult due to supply chains, but the products remain good. Any shortfall in revenue will be made up down the road. Worth buying here, especially on a day of bad volatility.

COMMENT
Market outlook He wants to see more selling before the market reaches capitulation. Almost there. For Apple, today saw the first time since October 2020 that the stock broke its upward trendline. There was similar price action in Microsoft. The economy will continue to slow and inflation and rates will peak. Then, you wade into these growth names. Apple and Microsoft have to give back more before the market capitulates.

BUY
Good to buy under $160 now. It's a dominant brand, despite winds of change in tech. Apple will become more dominant with the whole sale adoption of 5G. It will become a must-have technology and will demand new hardware. True, it was cheaper a few years ago, but it has grown into a higher valuation because of the rise of its services business which offers wider margins.
