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.

BUY
In a nice upward trend and seems to be holding quite steady. There’s still a lot of room for them to grow.
BUY
Has a tremendous amount of potential. Expecting it will have earnings of $22 in 2011.
COMMENT
As a value investor and between RIM (RIM-T) and Apple (AAPL-Q) her preference is Rim. Apple has done incredibly well but trades at a much higher multiple. Positive on the smart phone market overall.
BUY
Share price has risen quickly but earnings have grown just as fast if not faster. Wonderful opportunities into the future.
DON'T BUY
Great company with great products but a great valuation. It is difficult to earn enough money to justify that evaluation consistently. Has trouble pulling the buy trigger. Companies that don't pay dividends frustrates him.
HOLD
Has been a little weaker recently. Surprised him. Some consolidation at the 250 level and then the break out. He would look for it to hang around in this area. Apple does well at this time – kids gifts, etc. Peak in January because of the consumer electronics show. Formed a support line and look for it to come down. Look to take profits in the new year.
TOP PICK
Thinks it’s a better value at $300 than when he bought it at $65, after which they have 7x the earnings and price is up only 5x. Mac is very strong, couldn’t supply enough iPhones, the iPad did well. They are doing very well. Revenue is up year over year by 87%. This is a bigger pie story. Technology is moving at such a rate that anything that provides more information and more mobility is growing at a much faster rate than the economy.
BUY
Earnings today brought stock down 5% after the bell. It is trading at less than 20 times earnings with a tremendous growth rate. It’s possible for it to go to $400 if tech stock multiples expand.
TOP PICK
Best brand name globally. Have $50 in cash per share. Will deliver 20%-25% earnings growth next year. Expects it will go to $350-$400.
BUY
Suggests a stop loss if it continues to run.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 21/09. Up 47%.) Still a very cheap stock. Reporting earnings Monday and he expects them to blow the numbers away. Short-term target of $325.
COMMENT
Will cannibalize the PC market with the iPAD, especially the low-end notebook market. Not a value stock so he is not interested.
COMMENT
Have had great success in innovating and coming up with new leading edge products. $26 a share net cash on the balance sheet and trades at about 17X earnings. The time to buy this stock would be on a pull back in the market.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) If you believe it can continue to be a leader in fashion electronics, you can buy. He thinks they are priced to perfection.
COMMENT
In the last 3 weeks, has added $28 billion in market cap. That's more than the $17 billion they earned in 06, 07, 08 and 09. Thinks it is expensive. Got stopped out of his position.
