TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 22/11. Up 69.53%.) There is a lot of speculation about a smaller iPad coming out for the lower end of the market. Feels this is a very good strategy. It seems like there is no area of the market they don't want to go after. There is a new iPhone coming in September. Stock trades at 11X earnings and estimates have high teen growth rate in earnings for the next couple of years. Apple always seems to lowball and estimates and they like to beat them by wide margins.
COMMENT
Trades at a very fair PE of around 12X forward. Great place to be as long as they continue to grow but once you get over that mountain, as do all technology companies eventually, it’s a very long way down. Probably OK for another year or two but he doesn’t know.
TOP PICK
They are creating cash at such a rate that it is becoming a drag on the return on company fundamentals. Have a little over $100 billion in cash and are producing free cash at a rate of about $60 billion a year.
STRONG BUY
Have made very good progress on IOS 6 which will be coming out some time in July. Key to this company is the fortifying of the Echo System. Valuation of 12-13 times this year’s earnings is tremendously compelling.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 21/11. Up 78.05%.) He sold a $420 Put for Jan/13 and was obligated to Buy 100 shares for every Put he Sold until Jan/13. Hedged his position by buying a $380 Put, which meant he had to Sell Apple at $380. Doing this he got $20.50 Net credit.
COMMENT
Have done a good job so far, but just to revamp the iPhone and iPad be a defining moment. It should continue to do well for the next couple of years. They need to move the needle with bigger and revolutionary products, which he doubts they can continue to do without Steve Jobs. Good stock for the next little while with a probable dividend increase.
TOP PICK
Trading at 12X forward earnings, which is a multiple that is cheaper than the overall market. Expected long-term EPS growth rate is still 20%. This pullback represents a pretty good opportunity. Some near-term catalysts include Apple 5 (?) sometime this year as well as further expansion into China through China Mobile, the largest mobile operator globally.
DON'T BUY
Such an interesting company. Concern is that they have to continue to innovate. They have shown no signs that they can’t. But he prefers to own stocks that don’t have to continue to innovate to succeed. He likes the chips and Microsoft.
COMMENT
A wonderful company and has been a marvellous investment. Unfortunately what you now have is it has become the most valuable company in the world and the only way to go from there is down. Doubtful if it will repeat its enormous success of the last 5 years. With Steve Jobs gone, the ability to introduce stoning new technical advances may not be as strong a possibility.
COMMENT
Would feel more comfortable owning at this price than when it was running up in the $600’s. Technically there is support at around the $500 level. His big worry is that in 1-2 years, when the Steve Jobs halo is gone. Probably decent value at the $500 level.
WAIT
He would have to see it reach a support level of $450 at which time he would be all over this stock. In March, he had suggested that this stock had gone parabolic at the top of a trend channel.
WAIT
Wonderful company that is trading at 10X earnings and is not expensive. Have shown an ability to execute and manage the growth in the business. However, when companies are widely held, if there is any hiccup in the story, it can have an impact on share price. 2 issues. In the very near-term you are likely to have a slowdown in iPhone sales because of the new iPhone coming. For the 1st time in a few years, the balance of power seems to be shifting a little bit between this company and the telecom service providers.
HOLD
Uses a 125 day and 125 week periods for this company. Had a small break at around $550 which sort of coincides with the $560 level. If you see this stock breakdown there, you would be looking at the $450 range. There are probably some better ideas out there. Wouldn't chase this one. It has a heavy retail overlay and these tend not to persist. It's not going away but you could probably get it a bit cheaper.
TOP PICK
Moved up tremendously in the first 3 months of the year and has backed down to where it was prior to their 2nd quarter earnings announcement, which was a blockbuster report. Earnings of $46 this year so it is trading at about 12X earnings. If you strip out the cash, it is down to about 10X earnings. There is still lots of earnings growth ahead.
HOLD
The risk people have with Apple stocks is a) not having any or b) owning too much. It has $50 a share in earnings. The comment about owning too much is that there are people who bought it a long while ago and has become too large a piece of their portfolio.
