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

Apple Inc. continues to be a dominant player in the technology space, with a significant focus on its ecosystem of products and services. Despite some concerns about its slower pace in AI development, experts agree that Apple tends to adopt a wait-and-see strategy, allowing others to burn cash in the initial stages before innovating within established frameworks. Revenue reports and improvements in sales from China indicate a strong underlying business, while high margins and a massive cash flow contribute to its financial stability. The stock is highlighted for its resilience, even amid critiques regarding its valuation and lack of a clear AI strategy. Analysts generally view the company's future with cautious optimism, noting that potential M&A activities and collaborations could reshape its market positioning.

TOP PICK
Apple is on steadier ground, given its loyal army of customers and the future roll-out of 5G-compatible iPhones. Those customers kept buying Apple during the lockdown, keeping the company swimming in free cash. However, revenue growth over the last five years averages around 8% while the stock has soared 115% since the March 23 bottom. We see Apple as overbought, but still a solid company and recommend buying on a pullback or taking some profits.
DON'T BUY

Surge in Mac and iPad sales is helping. 34x earnings, overbought at 80 on the RSI. Last 5 years, revenue growth is only around 6%. He wants more than this when you're paying a premium. He questions whether people are going to continue to pay the high prices for its devices.

COMMENT
Enter now or wait for the stock split? It's the market darling now. The current excitement is 5G, if every Apple user (wealthier than usual) moves to 5G. The current stock price is justified, but how long will Apple remain the cachet product?
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Incredible ecosystem that's hard to break into, great products. Great company. Buy on a pullback. Lots of free cash, good dividend. Likes it very much. Doesn't matter if you buy before or after the stock split.
COMMENT
Doesn't own Apple, but owns a lot of the supply chain around Apple instead. If you drill down in Apple, it's more profitable to buy into the supply chain.
WATCH
She's impressed by how they have increased revenues during the lockdown and pandemic. But its multiple has expanded a lot in the past year. She continues to watch it and may buy at a 10-15% pullback. The 4-1 stock split doesn't change their fundamentals, but makes it more attractive to retail investors.
BUY
It is their largest position and have held it for a long time. He would continue to buy it. The trend are favourable for this business. The best company in terms of market capitalization and cashflow. He feels it is still undervalued.
BUY
You have to look at the percentage balance in your portfolio. He's trimmed it 7 times over the 15 years he's owned it. Mathematically, it would have been better to hold, but not on a risk-adjusted basis. Long-term investors do well by being disciplined and cognizant of the risks. Generates huge amounts of cash. Strong loyalty. Lots going for it. He'd buy it today. The higher multiple is justified.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 29/19, Up 84%) Over 40% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio is AAPL. He bought in in 2010 and has never sold a share. It is now above his model price, but he still sees it moving towards $500 in the not distant future.
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Warren Buffet has 43% of his portfolio in APPL. APPL is a wonderful brand and strong company. He does not own it today. What worries him a little is that more than half of their revenues come from iPhone sales. They are diversifying, but it will take time. People are tending to keep their phones a year or two longer today it seems. The valuation has made it quite expensive. He would wait for a pullback or consider V, GOOG or MSFT. Warren Buffet must have some amazing incite to take on that concentration in the portfolio.

HOLD
Citi target of $400? AAPL is a component of their holdings and has been so for 15 years. For years, it was under appreciated. For the past year the multiple has moved to a premium. He thinks this is in anticipation of 5G -- a ground breaking new technology requiring new hardware and software. They are in a prime position to take advantage.
DON'T BUY
It's trading at 26x forward earnings at an 11% growth rate, but they get help being in index funds. Long-term, he's concerned that 60% of revenues come from iPhone sales. Apple is a margin business, growing earnings by 9%. Other U.S. tech names are stronger, but you can't deny Apple's performance. They enjoy strong margins, but when will consumers say, "I won't pay $800 for a phone." That concerns him.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
One of the world's top businesses, no doubt, but it is too expensive to buy. Apple is tied to the success of the iPhone, so are people going to spend $1,000 on a phone now? He'd love to buy this, but only if the share price was cheaper.
BUY
He was gun shy about them about three years ago, but is very happy with their offerings now. He bought again in late-March. He believes Siri needs to be fixed.
BUY
It is clear that the leadership theme at this point has been large cap secular growth. People will pay for the predictability of secular growth. Their services business continues to grow. Their businesses are operating extremely well.
