This summary was created by AI, based on 84 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. continues to dominate the technology landscape, showcasing robust sales, especially with its recent iPhone launch. Despite the positive momentum, many analysts express concern over its valuation, pointing out that the stock is trading at a high price-to-earnings ratio, often above 30x. There are mixed sentiments regarding its approach to artificial intelligence, with some experts praising Apple's strategy of allowing other companies to invest heavily while it benefits from their advancements. However, there's a prevailing worry that rising component costs and pricing strategies may dampen consumer demand for new products. Finally, while the company has significant cash flow and dividends, the overall outlook remains cautious as investors anticipate clarity on Apple's AI strategy and future product developments.

TOP PICK
If you strip out the $43 in cash, it is actually trading at 13X Sept/2011 earnings. Arguably one of the cheapest stocks on the board. Dominant in their space.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 19/09. Up 38%.) Still likes. Thinks the new iPad will help them gather steam. 12 straight quarters of positive earnings. Trading at 17X forward earnings. Still undervalued.
BUY
Wouldn't count a lot on the iPad. Ultimately you can’t be sure it is the success that you saw from the iPhone and particularly the iPod. Company has a lot of in-growth going for it. Buy and put it away, don't try to trade it and in a couple of years you will be higher.
BUY
Fairly valued at these levels. The success has been about revenue growth and gross margin expansion. Yesterday’s release showed a slip in gross margin growth. If you see this happen repeatedly, the stock could slip. The key to go from here is to show they can maintain those margins.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Stock has had a very good run and is trading at a much higher multiple than RIM (RIM-T). Would wait for a hiccup.
BUY
On a fundamental basis he sees RIM (RIM-T) and Apple (AAPL-Q) as good companies. Smart phones are an area of growth globally. Of the 2 he feels RIM is more fairly valued.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 19/09. Up 38.1%.) Brand name for the iPhone and iPod are dominant. A catalyst coming up will be the Tablet in 2010.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 19/08. Up 120%.) Good management and innovation. Great broad spectrum of products. A hidden gem is the Apple App store. Still a Buy.
DON'T BUY
Expensive stock with a 31 PE. Thinks there will be a dogfight in the first smart phone space.
BUY
His top holding.
BUY
It’ll have a little choppiness. They are one of the top companies by capitalization.
SELL
(Market Call Minute) Trading at a record level – what are they going to do as an encore.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 8/08, Up 123%) Owned it since before the iPhone. It is cheaper now at $200 than when he bought it at $65. He had to trim it recently because it became too dominant.
TOP PICK
Cheap now as in the past 3 years they have owned it. They have $37 of cash on the balance sheet. You have to be looking at the non-gaap earnings. The $1.82 they reported would have been $3.14 on a regular accounting basis. The new tablet computer is a drive fro growth but the MAC has grown only 9% and there’s lots of room there. Great new products on the MAC side. One hidden gem is the Apple iStore.
COMMENT
Has done very well. Likes it longer-term. Company historically has always given very conservative guidance. At the present price it will have to post a very strong quarter with some pretty positive guidance going forward. IPhones and PC sales have been doing very well but the market is looking for new products. A lot of cash on the balance sheet.
