$Apple(AAPL)$
• Apple’s stock isn't priced for unrealistic growth, this underestimates Apple’s ability to innovate and leverage its ecosystem for sustained revenue growth. While the AI potential may not be as front-and-center as other tech companies, Apple’s ecosystem is incredibly powerful in retaining customers and driving incremental revenue growth through products and services.
• Innovation in AI and Beyond: Apple is often critiqued for a lack of “groundbreaking” innovation, but it has consistently shown its ability to refine and perfect technologies (e.g., with the iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch). Just because Apple’s AI strategy might seem slower compared to Microsoft or Google, doesn’t mean it’s ineffective. Apple’s focus on privacy and security with its AI initiatives should not be underestimated, as consumers and enterprises increasingly prioritize these attributes.
• Service Revenue: Apple has a growing services business (Apple Music, iCloud, App Store, etc.), which contributes to high-margin recurring revenue. This segment has shown strong growth, and as the installed base of Apple devices continues to expand, service revenue is likely to follow.
