Apple Inc. (AAPL) shows a complex and varied outlook from different analysts, reflecting both optimism and caution regarding its future. Many experts acknowledge strong fundamentals, particularly the company's cash position and robust services ecosystem. However, concerns arise from perceived slowness in AI initiatives and high valuation multiples in the face of slow growth. Despite recent successes with product launches, such as the iPhone 17, some analysts caution that the stock's pricing may be too high relative to anticipated earnings growth. Overall, while there are calls for Apple to leverage its existing user base for AI advancements, the overall sentiment remains mixed, balancing a blend of historical strength with current market hesitations.

COMMENT
Research in motion (RIM-T) and Apple (AAPL-Q) in the long-term will be survivors. In the short-term, sales are de-accelerating. Consider Puts and Calls.
HOLD
Rapidly growing company with many great products. Taking PC share and iPhone has been a huge success. Apple Apps Store is potentially a $1 billion plus opportunity. Growing their earnings at a fairly rapid rate. Because of Steve Job’s health problems, initial reaction is going to be negative.
DON'T BUY
Concerned with their product durability. Product seems to break down awfully easily. Expect the iPhone will have a lot of challengers. Given global economic circumstances, people can live without the new gadget.
BUY
Although market share is below 10%, mind share (people thinking of it) is 30%. Therefore tremendous growth potential. Very high margins. Good investment on a 3-year horizon.
TOP PICK
Stock is down to about 14X earnings. Those earnings are very conservative ones.
PARTIAL BUY
Last quarter was superb. Their new phone had huge sales. A lot of that appears to be a one-quarter phenomena. He is seeing data indicating they are cutting back on getting parts for the iPhone. Wouldn't be surprised to see iPhone sales go way down. Their PCs are doing quite well.
BUY
Good seasonality and January/February is the time when these types of stocks tend to peak. Could see it at the $120-$125 level in January. The only challenge is, are people going to slow down their purchases of their products.
BUY
Very positive that they were up when markets sold off. ITunes diversifies their business. Basic computer business is doing better.
BUY
Started buying for some clients. People are still buying Ipods, iPhones. People are not lining up for bread. Great earnings and it’s a valuation play.
TOP PICK
They created a new business with the iPhone and yet the stock did not go up.
WAIT
Trade apple if S&P gets down to 1000-point area. Steam is coming out of consumer. This will be a consumer lead recession.
SELL
We are going into the consumer phase of one of its fastest growing products, the iPhone, competing against RIM and Nokia. He thinks all these names will get hurt.
BUY
14x earnings is better than Rim’s 17x.
DON'T BUY
Consumer related products and we are entering a consumer slow down. People will hold on to an existing product. Great company but you are paying a large multiple.
DON'T BUY
Has some potential, but not a lot. Trading at about 8X book, which is not cheap. If things slow down, OUCH! It could lose half its price just like that.
