Markets partially reboundTSX climbs, Wall Street mixedMarkets whiplash on Trump tariffsThis summary was created by AI, based on 99 opinions in the last 12 months.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) is facing a challenging environment, primarily due to tariff concerns affecting its operations in China, where it is experiencing headwinds regarding iPhone sales. Despite this, the company continues to showcase strong fundamentals with a solid balance sheet, high free cash flow, and a loyal customer base. Analysts are optimistic about its services segment, which offers high margins and stable revenues, contributing to overall growth projections of around 15%. Many experts suggest that potential AI integrations into Apple's ecosystem may provide future growth opportunities, although there are concerns about whether these developments can significantly boost revenues. The stock is currently seen as a potential medium- to long-term entry point as it trades near long-term support levels, although some view it as overvalued in comparison to future growth expectations.
Markets are down today from Trump hectoring Jay Powell badly. If this leads to a constitutional crisis, you will need some cash. He always believed that the President can't fire the Fed Chair. This talk and tariffs have done enormous damage to stocks. Losses could worsen if Trump keeps trashing Powell without achieving a good tariff deal. Washington is incredibly biased against Nvidia and Apple, two excellent companies. Trump is more interested in cutting off China than advancing America's interests. This makes NVDA a hard stock to own, though not as bad as Apple. Apple makes the best consumer products on Earth, and they will eventually get AI right. But Apple makes a lot of products in China. The market could get worse, but at some point the pain will get so bad that Trump will back its most punitive measures. There has to be some sanity here. A strong Apple with business in China is in America's interest, while Nvidia is worth supporting. It doesn't have to be this way!
Tech leader, but beaten up badly due to tariff concerns. Down ~30% from recent highs. Iconic brand, strong cashflow, loyal customer base. Giant revenue generator. Services segment has very high margins, is expanding, with very stable revenue stream. That will cushion all the near-term uncertainties. Pricing power.
Actively diversifying production outside of China. Wearables are part of the growthier area of the business. Right at the 200-week MA of long-term support. Pretty good medium- and long-term entry point. Solid balance sheet, disciplined capital allocation. Steady 15% earnings growth going forward. Yield is 0.52%.
Own, don't trade this Is -30% from highs, including a sharp sell-off today. Buying into weakness has gotten you hurt, so stand back and wait a bit. Tariffs will raise the price of an iPhone from $550 to $850, though costs could be lower because of manufacturing shifting to India. Apple is stuck in a trade war between the US and China. A tough call.
The ones that are nice to King Trump. He'd hope that TSLA and AAPL would escape additional tariffs on China.
Except for TSLA, the other Mag 6 have come down to very reasonable valuations. For example, AMZN's trading at a discount to WMT, which makes no sense. GOOG is trading at 19x earnings. Thinks AAPL growth will be double digit. This is your chance to buy quality companies at reasonable valuations. See his Top Picks.
It leads the Mag 7 this week. The quarter was fine. In response to tariffs, they are moving some supply chains to Indonesia and Indian, away from China. Chinese phones are taking market share, but we've gotten past this news. Apple services were +14% this quarter and beat the top and bottom with an 8% growth rate. He will ride it up.
Global tech behemoth. His son always tells him that it's all about the ecosystem. That's what drives customer loyalty and recurring revenue. Innovation continues to drive earnings and customer loyalty. Services are where it's at on a go-forward basis. Apple Music is very high margin and recurring revenue, offsets sporadic cyclicality in hardware sales.
AI initiatives offer good growth potential. Balance sheet is bigger than many countries combined. FCF generation very strong. Shareholder friendly initiatives. Sees 15% earnings growth going forward. High, high quality for long-term investors. Yield is 0.4%.
