This summary was created by AI, based on 91 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) is currently experiencing mixed sentiments among experts regarding its long-term prospects, particularly in relation to artificial intelligence (AI) and its traditional hardware business. While some experts appreciate Apple's strong product margins and robust service segment, there is notable concern over its lag in AI development compared to competitors. The company’s strategy of allowing other tech firms to invest heavily in AI, only to step in later, is a point of discussion. Many analysts believe Apple's profitability will remain strong due to its vast user ecosystem and cash reserves, though its valuation is a point of contention, with some suggesting that it’s fully priced amid slow growth. A considerable number of reviews highlight upcoming product launches and their potential to boost shares, although the skepticism surrounding AI adoption continues to loom.

BUY
Can’t think of anything in the next couple of years that will derail these guys at making a lot of money. So many people want to call a top, but you can’t say it is expensive compared to the market.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) This is one you have to own. If the market can work its way higher this company will participate. Lots of cash, great growth rate.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 6/11. Up 61.15%.) 45% revenue growth rate and 50% earnings growth rate and 40% ROE. Earnings projections are still out there and there is still room to go. Wait until after they announce their new product this Wednesday as the stock could go up on rumour and then drop off.
DON'T BUY
If you look at Apple, it is a product story. He would look in our own back yard. More upside.
COMMENT
Has defied critics and continues to come out with great products that appeal to consumers. In the next 1-2 years, it is difficult to see them continuing with their current momentum of refreshment of existing products. He is concerned about longer term but in the short term, there is nothing to be concerned about.
COMMENT
Hopes that they will start paying dividends in the fall as many other tech companies have done. Probably reasonably valued but the difficulty is that it is now so large that unless it comes up with an absolutely stunning success in the lines of new products, it won't be able to grow at the same rate.
BUY
There is so much growth at Apple but there is so much cash. They could keep so much value by just paying a dividend.
BUY
You have to be careful not to get caught up by big numbers. But there is some euphoria and some momentum trading out there. There are good fundamentals. He is an excited owner of Apple. The dividend will open up the opportunity to all kinds of funds to buy it.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Dec 8/11, Up 28.65%) Would be a buyer at current prices. Likes it a lot.
HOLD
Had spectacular earnings. This is the 800 pound gorilla in the market.
BUY
Gone up a lot but a little tough to step into at this point. Speculation that they may come out with dividend or share buy back, which would be pretty positive. Question is if they can maintain their dominant presence in the hand-held market.
TOP PICK
Blockbuster earnings. Appreciated after earnings but not to the extent that the earnings were a surprise. Their domination is not being threatened and they have lots of room for growth.
BUY
Trading at 11X earnings. $97 billion in cash. Long-term growth rate is still in the very high teens.
DON'T BUY
Remarkable story. Attributes the boost in sales to Steve Jobs death. He thinks there was a collective moment worldwide where everyone said that they had to go buy an Apple. It was such a huge global story. He won’t chance it here unless it pulls back.
WEAK BUY
Thinks it needs to pause at these levels. Stock might be a little a head of itself. But you pay for perfection.
