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.

BUY
He sold it at the end of January. Apple has had a strong start this month and nearing a $3-trillion valuation today. Apple's run in the last two weeks signals that investors aren't afraid of the downside in the market (below January and February lows) anymore. Rather, people view those lows as a tremendous buying opportunity. Investors should own Apple, not trade it.
BUY
The stock is on a streak, but is on a recovery. It hasn't returned to all-time highs after tumbling to $148 and has now bounced $30. When people were scared by the Russian war, investors lightened up their positions across the board, including Apple, which many own. Shares fells too far recently. You strongly buy Apple (and Microsoft) on dips, because those companies didn't change (macro forces, like war, did). You can still buy Apple today. When Apple inevitably releases new products this fall, shares will likely hit $200.
BUY
It's a bellwhether. They have global demand and global supply chain. They have the pulse of the consumer.
COMMENT
He's been trading this, trading it well. Yes, you can trade this stock (and not hold long-term).
BUY
Apple tells us about supply chains, consumers and technology in general. CEO Cook continues to execute and will do so. Apple has held up much better than most tech stocks, which are juggernauts with cash flows--nothing like tech in 2000.
BUY
He's more active in options than in stocks. He owns Apple which is his longest hold in his portfolio, but he also trades around it all the time. When the market bought 55,000 of today's expiring 165 calls, they paid a little over a dollar. Today, those were closed out over $8. CEO Cook said Apple's credit card had stunning growth--no one talks about this, but the card will be incredible. They're always creating something.
BUY
Apple still boasts strong fundamentals, demand for their products and services, and catalysts. Nothing has changed, except negative sentiment which hit all tech names. Now, Apple is back up. The market is returning to a focus on fundamentals. He held onto his Apple shares in its recent dip. He's positive Apple.
BUY
It's seeing a significant comeback. Apple is a major holding of his, and Apple is still crushing it. He expects another strong cycle for Apple this fall. He likes buying dips and he didn't sell when Apple fell to $150 recently. Apple will grind higher. So many people are using Apple services, which means revenues, and Apple could introduce a new product to interest shareholders.
BUY
Apple will enjoy continued consumer demand because of ongoing pent-up demand. FAANGs have strong balance sheets and cash flow and they can innovate. Add to that tuck-in acquisitions. Earnings can still grow with big tech stocks like Apple.
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 16/21, Up 21%) It has pulled back recently. Is adding more shares. They will benefit from the upgrade cycle, given their large base. She also likes their expanding services, which make up 20% of revenues and a third of their gross margins. The beauty of their business model is they can bring out new products and services to their established customer base. Recurring revenues here. Their wearables business has been growing a lot too.

PARTIAL SELL
Phenomenal job of growing its franchise. But since the stock split, its multiple has gone up, outpacing its growth and revenue rates. Multiple is close to 30x. He trimmed by about 1/3-1/2 a few weeks ago around $163. As prices rise, value tends to drop. He always likes to maintain a balanced portfolio in terms of risk, and he encourages this strategy.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Following the new product announcements this week, we reiterate AAPL as a TOP PICK. We like how the new iPhone SE will be lower cost than last year’s 13 flagship, at a time rising costs are on every consumers minds. Margins are likely expanding as it priced above the last SE model. The company recently beat analyst earnings expectations by 11% and it is generating a high ROE as it continues to aggressively buy back shares. We recommend trailing the stop to $135, looking to achieve $193 — upside potential over 22%. Yield 0.56%
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Unveiled a budget iPhone and other devices today and yet shares slipped 1% $140 is a good level to buy at. The cracks are in the foundation; this is making lower lows. It could break below the 200-day moving average. Services are a bigger component in this cycle, which is how its holding its PE. Given the consumption of Macbooks, wearables, iPhones, it never gets better than this.
HOLD
The Beta is not much higher than 1. So goes the market, so goes Apple. Down is more likely than up for Apple, but she's long and holding.
