Apple is the 5th-largest economy in the world, he says without sarcasm. Apple is an asset. For a generation holding onto stocks longer than expected (because bonds don't pay like they used to ), Apple is the exact asset to replace fixed income. Apple is a hybrid of stock and bond. It has ridiculous free cash flow and boasts double-digit revenue growth and profit expansion. It's up 25% this quarter so far and up 8% this month so far.

COMMENT
It doesn't have to innovative to be a great stock. Why has the stock moved up so far? We need to see their stores grow and their new phone to deliver. Apple is a safe stock--defensive--to own. That's all. (JPM upgraded Apple today at a $225 PT as its top pick for 2022). Other analysts are now targeting $250, based on Apple's work in the metaverse and self-driving cars.) To reach $250, Apple needs to grow earnings and expand its PE multiple. The metaverse hasn't done much for Meta/Facebook. Rather, we need to see telcos continue to subsidize Apple's $1,000 phones.

The top 5 senior growth/tech stocks: #5 Apple: We keep hearing that they say they don't need more chips because sales are ugly. That's possible, but these supply stories are unreliable. The consumer is strong and the iPhone 13 offers a lot of improvement. Shares popped today. They sell the best products and Millennials love them.

BUY
Does not view it as a growth stock. Apple is reasonably valued compared to other tech valuations that are more extreme. 28x price to earnings. Does have some value characteristics due to cash generation. Too expensive relative to other cyclical parts fo the markets.

(A Top Pick May 11/21, Up 26.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with APPL has achieved its $159 objective. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop (from $125) to $140. If triggered, this would result in a net investment gain over 18%.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks If you do want to invest in a headline stock in EV’s then consider Apple. The maker of iPhones—it’s long been reported—plans to build self-driving EV’s. We all know of Apple’s long track record of building innovative products, such as the iPod and the tablet, so they’ve earned the confidence of the market to succeed in EV’s. Some readers will swear by Tesla, and I can’t argue against its magnificent stock performance in past years, but Apple offers far less volatility. Read 4 Popular Headline Stocks for our full analysis.

She bought more in the latest September pullback. Likes it long term. Chip shortages have caused pullback in volume expectations, but this will get resolved. Transitioned from a product-only company to one with services, which account for 33% of revenue. Keeps coming up with new services and features.

Don't think of this merely as a smartphone play, but offer payments, entertainment, news, sports, game, healthcare through its ecosystem. They make the best products. He expects them to report a good quarter and if it has any problems it's due from component shortages that can't meet demand. Huge cash flow.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 02/20, Up 33%) Last year was a little more quiet in the market. The best business in the world. It is not trading at the highest multiple in the world though. Great quality business should trade at at least 25 - 30x earnings. Apple trades at 25x forward earnings. Continues to innovate.

DON'T BUY
iPhone is 50% of its revenue. If it runs into an issue (technical glitch, fashion), this will materially impact the stock. Earnings have grown about 17%, while revenue's grown about 8%. 8% seems weak compared to other tech biggies. Not that AAPL will falter, but there are other names he'd rather own.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 23/20, Up 29%) He bought this in 2005. He's done extremely well and there's lots of runway ahead. Tailwinds: 5G is coming and 1.4 billion phones out there will need to upgrade, and a 93% customer loyalty rate. Supply delays will mean deferred purchases, not cancellations.

BUY
Apple's supply shortages are nothing new. Like, 11 years ago, the iPhone 4 had problems with its antenna and the stock got crushed, but that was a great buying opportunity. The stock is now worth 10 times more. You don't get many buying opportunities for Apple like now. The semis shortage is hitting all companies. Apple boasts the best technology and the most loyalty customer base. Apple won't lose sales of iPhones, but those sales will be postponed. And don't trade this; nobody is that nimble.

COMMENT
Google and MSFT don't deliver products in a box, but deliver software or services over the internet, so both stocks will do well (in light of supply chain shortages). In contrast, Apple must deliver hard products, like phones and watches, but are suffering supply bottlenecks. The latter will likely guide cautiously this earnings season which may hurt these stocks.

COMMENT
Likes Apple. Apple is slightly less expensive on valuation than Microsoft. Their franchise is second to none. They came out with the iPhone 13, which was not particularly flashy, but the expected sales is positive. There are aging iPhones and the replacement cycle will be enormous. They have a good formula for success. Multiple has moved up in part to the recognition of the formula's ability to repeat itself.
