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

Apple Inc. (AAPL) continues to be a dominant player in the technology market, with strong brand loyalty and a massive ecosystem of services driving its revenue growth. While the company is experiencing single-digit growth rates, its strategic approach of allowing other firms to lead in innovation, especially in AI, suggests a potential for future gains once Apple fully capitalizes on these advancements. Analysts remain divided on the stock's valuation, with many pointing to high price-to-earnings multiples. Despite some concerns about disappointing performance in AI and hardware innovation, the company is recognized for its solid cash flow generation and strong balance sheet, which positions it well for future opportunities. Overall, the sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with many experts recommending to hold or gradually buy into the stock, as significant upside may still exist in the long term.

WAIT
He would have to see it reach a support level of $450 at which time he would be all over this stock. In March, he had suggested that this stock had gone parabolic at the top of a trend channel.
WAIT
Wonderful company that is trading at 10X earnings and is not expensive. Have shown an ability to execute and manage the growth in the business. However, when companies are widely held, if there is any hiccup in the story, it can have an impact on share price. 2 issues. In the very near-term you are likely to have a slowdown in iPhone sales because of the new iPhone coming. For the 1st time in a few years, the balance of power seems to be shifting a little bit between this company and the telecom service providers.
HOLD
Uses a 125 day and 125 week periods for this company. Had a small break at around $550 which sort of coincides with the $560 level. If you see this stock breakdown there, you would be looking at the $450 range. There are probably some better ideas out there. Wouldn't chase this one. It has a heavy retail overlay and these tend not to persist. It's not going away but you could probably get it a bit cheaper.
TOP PICK
Moved up tremendously in the first 3 months of the year and has backed down to where it was prior to their 2nd quarter earnings announcement, which was a blockbuster report. Earnings of $46 this year so it is trading at about 12X earnings. If you strip out the cash, it is down to about 10X earnings. There is still lots of earnings growth ahead.
HOLD
The risk people have with Apple stocks is a) not having any or b) owning too much. It has $50 a share in earnings. The comment about owning too much is that there are people who bought it a long while ago and has become too large a piece of their portfolio.
BUY
Given up all of the gain that it had from its blowout quarter. This quarter coming up might be a little bit slow or soft but they have given guidance for that. Maybe by the 4th quarter they are going to announce the new iPhone and possibly a TV product. Valuation of $50 a share in earnings and $120 a share in free cash is way too cheap. This should give you a $780 stock.
DON'T BUY
Does this stock fit with your value approach because it is trading at 11X earnings? Multiple is relatively low given that it has a lot of cash on its balance sheet. There is a lot of momentum with their iPad and iPhone. There is a lot of competition in the space. This company has reinvented themselves every 5 years. The low multiple may be because of a question of what is going to drive it further. People are taking profits and the chart does not look that great. Would like to see it at a lower price.
HOLD
Fantastic company. Have forward earnings of about 14. Gross margins came in at 47, an incredible record. If there is margin squeeze up there with more competition coming in you might see a little bit of an impact. Technically, it popped through its upward channel in January. The next launch is not due until the fall so there might be some weakening here. He could see it going down to $400 if the market starts to get hit.
COMMENT
If you own, he would do some partial selling but keep a core position and use the money to diversify elsewhere. This will be an extremely volatile stock and it on any type of hiccup short-term people run, which worries him.
WAIT
Given his distaste of the short term market, especially regarding Europe, he would hold off buying this.
DON'T BUY
Tries to stay out of the fashionable part of the tech space. The earnings are all well and good. There is a lack of recurring revenues at Apple. How long can they expect to sell their top end models of phone at this rate.
PARTIAL SELL
Fundamentally, this is pretty good. Pulling back to the $540 level would be fairly normal. It's not unusual to see stocks pull back a third on profit taking. If you own, the very, very cautious, maybe start selling out and reduce your exposure.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 17/11. Up 75.67%.) Still loves the stock at this point. It is growing at 20%+ based on estimated earnings. Trading at a market multiple 13X PE. Consider Buying if it gets down to $565-$570, its 50 day moving average.
BUY
Still great opportunity, but technically it looks like it’s rolled over in the very near term. The question is, will hold back to approximately its 50 day moving average. Longer term there is still great opportunity. Trading at about 13 PE with pretty good growth. Most of their margins are happening on the phone side yet coming down a little bit as they are more successful in selling iPads. Also putting a big push for TV into the home along with other applications.
BUY
Continues to do everything to support its price and more. Even though the price is rising, the fundamentals such as the earnings and revenue, are rising at a faster rate than the price so it is actually getting cheaper.
