This summary was created by AI, based on 85 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) has seen a mixed reception from analysts as it navigates the challenges of high valuation, rising costs, and market positioning in artificial intelligence (AI). Many experts acknowledge Apple's strong ecosystem and free cash flow, noting that the company has consistently performed well during market uncertainties. However, concerns over its relatively high price-to-earnings ratio, which currently hovers around 30-38x, have led some to suggest it may be overpriced for its expected single-digit growth. While some analysts remain bullish, emphasizing Apple's historical resilience and potential in the services sector, others recommend profit-taking in light of recent performances and uncertainties in their AI strategy. The sentiment is further complicated by the potential impacts of supply chain issues and competition, particularly in the burgeoning AI space.

TOP PICK
Trading at a very low valuation compared with its growth rate. They just keep beating on expectations. Created a $20 billion market out of nothing from their tablet.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 11/10. Up 52.95%.) One of the best quality companies in North America. Growth prospects are looking at 30%-35% in earnings. Trading at 12X earnings and if you strip out the cash, it is less than 10X. Very cheap.
WEAK BUY
Tricky. Looks very cheap on paper. Trade at about 10X earnings ex-cash but you have to appreciate that it has to come up with innovative and new products all the time to continue generating those significant earnings and higher margins. Becoming more competitive.
HOLD
There are big expectations built into this company, but she finds that if you watch the charts, there are certain technical Buy points. 200 day is a good support level.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Now is not a entry point for this stock. Currently it is very overbought. It will come back so try to buy at $352.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/20. Up 0.18%.) Not expensive. Appears the product cycle is to extend it with new products.
DON'T BUY
An expensive stock, but on the other hand, they execute very well. Constantly innovating, improving and bringing out new devices. Believes you are paying a lot for its popularity.
HOLD
In the top position in one of the fastest growing areas and one of the best industries out there. What they are doing on the Cloud now should enhance their #1 position. Cheap at 13X earnings. Over $60 billion in cash on the balance sheet.
HOLD
Fantastic company, wouldn’t bet against it. Huge consumer following. Not an expensive stock.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 16/10. Up 30.15%.) Better value today then it was in 2006. Still likes.
COMMENT

10 Calls strike 300 for July for $71 and I’m losing. What should I do? Presume you were long Apple and Short the Calls and kept getting called out and then reversed your direction. Should continue what you were doing initially. He just wrote Apple this month and gets 2% a month just to write Calls at the money. Do not Buy options, always be a seller.

BUY
A long term favourite. Continues to hit on all cylinders. Steve Jobs's health is a concern, but maybe things he is stubborn on can get done now and could be a good thing. Weakness is coming from NASDAQ re-weighting that happened earlier this month. A great entry point.
DON'T BUY
75% or more of its products didn’t exist 5 years ago. It’s a company that constantly has to reinvent itself. Concerned about Steve Job’s health. Has had a good run but there are others in the technology sector to make money on.
WAIT
Much loved company but doesn’t disappoint. All the tech stocks are trading at cheap valuations. One of the fastest growing and most cash rich companies in the world. They have to do something with that cash. People will get fed up with the share price dragging along. He is waiting for a big price drop to get in.
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.
