Jun 30, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 90 opinions in the last 12 months.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) has received a mixed bag of expert opinions, particularly surrounding its AI strategy and pricing strategies. While there is acknowledgment of Apple's strong brand loyalty and cash flow generation capabilities, concerns persist regarding its high valuation and dependence on iPhone sales, which constitute a significant portion of revenue. Many analysts believe that Apple's historical approach to adopting new technologies—waiting for others to innovate before entering the market—could serve them well in the evolving AI landscape. Despite some critiques of the company's current stagnation in innovation, the general sentiment leans toward the belief that Apple will adapt and eventually integrate AI into its product offerings, driving future growth. The stock's recent performance, bolstered by strong sales and a robust balance sheet, reflects optimism about its long-term potential, although some cautioned about potential near-term profit-taking and the need for a strong AI declaration.

BUY
It has a bright future. The i-phone is not going to look the same in 10 years time. We will have a chip embedded in our heads and neuro-technology is developing rapidly. It is really happening. this company is investing massively in Health Care. People don't mind sharing their data if they get value out for it. Trading at a reasonable valuation. One of the most innovative companies out there. Strong balance sheet. They are transitioning to a service company.

TOP PICK
Picked it because the multiple is quite reasonable at a bit over 13x forward earnings. Investors got over-excited about cell phone sales. Huge cash flow, so they've got room to increase the dividend. They're in a growth sector that will continue to grow. A buy and hold stock. Yield is 1.6%. (Analysts’ price target is $226.71)

WATCH
Likes the name, held in the past, sold a little less than a year ago. The stock is sold-off quite a bit, down 20% this quarter. Had some challenges with the new iPhone production and more recently the tariffs from Trump. Today Apple came out and said the new iPhone is the best selling iPhone yet. Starting to get more diversified, services side is growing very well and he likes that. Cheap. Trading at a lower multiple than it should at 13X forward earnings. Anything under 15X is worth a look. Wouldn't be surprised if they start to add to that name over the next quarter.

BUY
They have recently taken profit. He still likes it and may consider getting back in. There are headwinds with slower iPhone sales, but there is no other big cap that offers the same growth potential. He wonders if growth in emerging markets potentially being for lower cost phones.

TOP PICK
It's become a value stock, trading at 18x earnings with a 1.7% yield. It'll continue to sell a lot of iPhones, and their services platform has grown huge. Don't just look at how many phones they'll sell in the next quarter. They continue to innovate and grow worldwide. People love their iPhones and will rarely switch to Androids. Great price now. (Analysts’ price target is $228.47)

BUY ON WEAKNESS
He is not concerned about the price of Apple, but more concerned about their actions he would like to see them do. They have so much cash on their balance sheet. They are a victim of their own success. He would like to see either a bigger dividend, or some plan for all the cash. Their service revenue has been ramping up, which is encouraging.

WATCH
Had a parabolic trend earlier this year, which means it's unsustainable--which is what happened this fall. It sold off after its latest product launches. Since then, it's seen a parabolic trend lower, which is also unsustainable. It should be forming a bottom soon. Seasonally, it's June 12-Sept.24. Q4 is good for tech stocks.

It’s on sale. We’ve seen these concerns before. They make good products, people want them. Services side growing at a good clip. Earnings great, good valuation. Positive on the name for the longer term. Yield is 1.6%. (Analysts’ price target is $230.39)

WAIT
He loves their products and services, but was always worried that Apple is just its iPhone. Markets aren't happy that Apple won't disclose iPhone saes anymore. However, services are a big part of their business, and the Apple Watch he expects will enjoy more sales. When we stop talking about the FANG stocks, that's the time to buy these stocks. He has always owned this stock.

DON'T BUY
Reported last week. Their volume shipments have been trending down, yet they're increasing prices. They are transitioning to a software-service company. Also, they won't disclose future unit shipment volumes, which the market doesn't like--people want more transparency. Apple has a lot of cash though. They haven't innovated in a big way in recent years, just relaunches. A financially sound company though. Wait for it to stabilize.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 19/17, Up 12%) Has owned this since 2006 and been a big winner for him though its valued has halved three times. The lesson: big patient and look at the big picture. They have 1 billion installed devices in the world and a 93% loyalty rate, so they will continue to do extremely well. Their growth rate will ebb and flow, but they tend to be in a leadership position, investing $15 billion a year in R&D. Pullbacks like now are an opportunity. Their services business does $40 billion revenue a year which is all of Facebook's revenue. It doesn't get the multiple it should.

TOP PICK
AAPL Jan 2020 215. For the long term. Problem with the stock is the high price, and the dividend will be taxed as income. Better to buy a $215 call that expires in 2020, and pay for it by selling a $215 put. So this will act exactly like the stock until January 2020.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 17/17, Up 31%) This is his #1 stock in his portfolio. He is not concerned by the recent price pullback. They bought back $80 million shares. He would add to his position on a pullback to $200. He likes their subscriber fee revenue growth. They continue to do all the right things. His model price is $233.42.
