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

Apple Inc. has showcased resilience in its financial performance despite concerns over its lack of an aggressive AI strategy compared to competitors. While the company has maintained a strong balance sheet and impressive cash flow, analysts have mixed views on its growth potential, with many concerned about flat revenue and the high price-to-earnings ratios. The recent launch of the iPhone 17 and strong sales in China indicate that Apple can still perform well, but fears of stagnation in innovation linger. Experts suggest that Apple adopts a cautious wait-and-see approach regarding AI developments, favoring a strategy of entering markets after initial incumbents face challenges. The overall sentiment indicates confidence in Apple's long-term brand strength but skepticism about short-term gains.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
On her watch list but would like to buy it a little lower down, perhaps 5% on a pull back. Nice play on the smart phone market. Their phones are doing very well. Shipments have been very strong and this is their highest margin business. Steve Jobs is an important component of the company and there are concerns on his health.
BUY
Not an expensive stock. When you look at the company’s metrics, they’ll probably earn around $23 this year and $29 next. Have $65 a share in cash. Taking the cash off the share price, it is trading at only about 12X earnings.
HOLD
Very different market from Research In Motion (RIM-T). This is more consumer oriented. Nothing wrong with holding shares of each as they are 2 very separate markets.
COMMENT
Thinks it got nailed because it got to big for the NASDAQ, so they’re repositioning the index and Microsoft (MSFT-Q) and Cisco (CSCO-Q) have been the beneficiaries. Fundamentals of the stock have not changed. Not a sector for the faint of heart but this one has a lot of value and could have $90 a share in cash by ear end.
TOP PICK
Growing 30%-35% annually and trading at 14-15 times earnings. If you strip out the cash, it trades at about 12X earnings. Growth will continue with a lot of new products coming out.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 22/10, Up 55.16%) and short Power Shares QQQ Down 20.48%. Apple had a lot of catalysts and would have superior earnings growth and outperform the NASDAQ. He shorted the tech market. He edged out the market and just profited on the earnings.
DON'T BUY
Have the ability to innovate and develop a product that effectively created its own market. A little too rich at this time.
DON'T BUY
Model price is $260. Down 22% from where it is now. If you are a growth manager, maybe.
HOLD
Look at the longer term – it is an upward trend. This is one of the strongest stocks in the tech sector. Seasonality is not there this time of year. This company keeps coming up with new products/services. He would make an exception and you should continue to hold it. Stick with the medium term indicators, which say to hold. It’s going to take some time to break through the overhead resistance.
TOP PICK
Still seeing nice valuation – still compelling. 14x earnings on a forward basis. Long-term growth forecast of over 20% on an annualized basis. PE is where it was 2 years ago. One of the risks is supply chain interruption from Japan. Historically these things are very temporary.
COMMENT
He is a value investor and it is hard to view this one as a value stock. His question is, what is Apple without Steve Jobs. Is it still a great company because it has great products and great people or is Steve Jobs the genius behind this? If he is no longer there permanently, does it rest on its laurels for a while and then start to fade away? Great unknown. Too much uncertainty.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Feb 10/10, Up 73%) Continues to like it. Good entry point based on rumours. It would be very unusual for them to experience a product release delay. It’s the greatest growth company out there.
TOP PICK
Buy July $355 calls. This is a bet that the trend in Apple will continue. Premiums on options for this stock are not terribly expensive (don’t pay more than $25). If the stock hits $400, which he thinks it will, you’ll double you money. If the stock drops, the most you can lose is the cost of the Call.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 17/10. Up 70.13%.) In spite of Steve Jobs illness, they have very capable people and will continue to move ahead. Trading at a very attractive multiple. Could see the stock tripling in 5 years.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 10/10. Up 75.1%.) Reporting earnings on Jan 18 and expecting them to be outstanding. Trading at only about 15X next year’s earnings. Still a Buy.
