More fundamentally, what are some of the main reasons why investors might want to own AAPL shares? There are probably many of them, but I will start with my own top 3 list today.Figure 1: 3 Big Reasons To Love Apple StockAAPL Reason #1: Massive ROICROIC, or return on invested capital, is a metric that many analysts and investors like to track. It contrasts a company’s earnings (numerator) against the cash raised from debt and equity investors (denominator). Think of the formula:ROIC = NOPAT ÷ Invested Capital, in which:NOPAT is the net operating profit after tax, a similar concept to net incomeInvested capital is largely equity plus debt investments minus cashThe higher the ROIC, the better.

That’s really not a bad number at all, considering Apple’s weighted cost of capital that is probably short of 10%.But since then, Apple’s ROIC has skyrocketed (see below). Today, the number is a staggering 56%. Relative to the investment that debtholders and equity holders have placed into the company, Apple is a massive profit-producing machine.Figure 2: AAPL's ROIC.There are two main reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC, especially in the past five years. First, profits (the numerator) have increased as (1) the 5G-capable iPhone models became a hit among consumers, (2) Apple was able to maintain pricing power, and (3) margins improved with the growth of the services segment.Second, investments in the company (the denominator) have decreased sharply, mostly due to Apple’s aggressive strategy of buying back shares since 2012(more on this below).AAPL Reason #2: Highly EfficientAlthough services represent a sizable 20% of total sales, Apple is still primarily a consumer products vendor. Companies like it live and die by how tightly it manages working capital – that is, receivables and inventory on the asset side, payables on the liability side.The less cash a company ties up in receivables and inventory, and the longer it takes a company to pay its own vendors, the better.

Even when other investors turn sour on Apple stock, at least the Cupertino company can be there to create demand for its own shares.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":120,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9960682310,"gmtCreate":1668140595130,"gmtModify":1676538019682,"author":{"id":"4107036505850050","authorId":"4107036505850050","name":"tiger01","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9474fcc99fad0ed1e7c2240cf9e10223","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107036505850050","authorIdStr":"4107036505850050"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AMZN\">$Amazon.com(AMZN)$&nbsp;</a> initiative move in first step but solid.&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AMZN\">$Amazon.com(AMZN)$&nbsp;</a> initiative move in first step but solid.&nbsp;","text":"$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ initiative move in first step but solid.","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/eedbf70a1cb7e7524e36e62924a6206d","width":"1125","height":"2580"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9960682310","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":80,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9960990262,"gmtCreate":1668040459256,"gmtModify":1676538001992,"author":{"id":"4107036505850050","authorId":"4107036505850050","name":"tiger01","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9474fcc99fad0ed1e7c2240cf9e10223","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107036505850050","authorIdStr":"4107036505850050"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"But Tesla also will die together if killed to twitter.&nbsp;","listText":"But Tesla also will die together if killed to twitter.&nbsp;","text":"But Tesla also will die together if killed to twitter.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9960990262","repostId":"2282866791","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2282866791","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1668038540,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2282866791?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-10 08:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk Says He \"Killed\" New Official Label for Twitter Accounts -Tweet","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2282866791","media":"Reuters","summary":"Nov 9 (Reuters) - Elon Musk said in a tweet on Wednesday that he \"killed\" the new official label for","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Nov 9 (Reuters) - Elon Musk said in a tweet on Wednesday that he &#34;killed&#34;

The stock may be even more of a buy in the case of a dip as it is unlikely to be down for long, suggesting current investors would do well to hold until shares rise again.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":57,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9919637841,"gmtCreate":1663799531383,"gmtModify":1676537336361,"author":{"id":"4107036505850050","authorId":"4107036505850050","name":"tiger01","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9474fcc99fad0ed1e7c2240cf9e10223","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107036505850050","authorIdStr":"4107036505850050"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9919637841","repostId":"1109921858","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1109921858","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1663785473,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1109921858?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-22 02:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fed Is Purposefully Hiking Rates in Commitment to Tame Inflation: Powell's Press Conference","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1109921858","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The Federal Reserve is raising rates \"purposefully\" to reach levels to bring down inflation, Federal","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>The Federal Reserve is raising rates &#34;purposefully&#34; to reach levels to bring down inflation, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said in the press conference after the central bank raised its key rate by 75 basis points for a third straight meeting.</li><li>The Federal Open Market Committee&#39;s median expectation for GDP growth was trimmed to 0.2% this year and to 1.2% for next year, he said.</li><li>Labor markets are still extremely tight and job gains are robust, Powell said. &#34;The labor market continues to be out of balance,&#34; he added.</li><li>&#34;Price pressures remain evident&#34; across a broad range of goods and services, though energy prices have declined.</li><li>&#34;At some point&#34; a slower pace of rate increases will be appropriate, and the FOMC will make their rate decision on meeting-by-meeting basis, Powell added.</li></ul><ul><li>In Powell&#39;s estimation, the Fed has just moved its rate to the &#34;very lowest&#34; level of restrictive.

What do iPhone sales in the holiday quarter look like? Is Apple pulling back production in China? Can the stock build upon recent momentum?</p><p>So now, I take one step back. More fundamentally, what are some of the main reasons why investors might want to own AAPL shares? There are probably many of them, but I will start with my own top 3 list today.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a934c8d32eb2b80a07cf98af6caf9467\" tg-width=\"1240\" tg-height=\"827\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Figure 1: 3 Big Reasons To Love Apple Stock</span></p><h2>AAPL Reason #1: Massive ROIC</h2><p>ROIC, or return on invested capital, is a metric that many analysts and investors like to track. It contrasts a company’s earnings (numerator) against the cash raised from debt and equity investors (denominator). Think of the formula:</p><p>ROIC = NOPAT ÷ Invested Capital, in which:</p><ul><li>NOPAT is the net operating profit after tax, a similar concept to net income</li><li>Invested capital is largely equity plus debt investments minus cash</li></ul><p>The higher the ROIC, the better. It means that the company is able to “deliver more with less”: lots of profits with relatively small quantities of capital invested into the firm.</p><p>Companies in a good competitive position whose wide moat protects the business model well tend to have high ROIC. On the other hand, cut-throat competition that chips away at a company’s profits and margins tends to lead to low ROIC.</p><p>Apple’s ROIC hovered around 35% in 2010, within three years following the launch of the iPhone and the iPad. That’s really not a bad number at all, considering Apple’s weighted cost of capital that is probably short of 10%.</p><p>But since then, Apple’s ROIC has skyrocketed (see below). Today, the number is a staggering 56%. Relative to the investment that debtholders and equity holders have placed into the company, Apple is a massive profit-producing machine.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fbc66682044c0970e857a65b8974a103\" tg-width=\"1178\" tg-height=\"336\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Figure 2: AAPL&#39;s ROIC.</span></p><p>There are two main reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC, especially in the past five years. First, profits (the numerator) have increased as (1) the 5G-capable iPhone models became a hit among consumers, (2) Apple was able to maintain pricing power, and (3) margins improved with the growth of the services segment.</p><p>Second, investments in the company (the denominator) have decreased sharply, mostly due to Apple’s aggressive strategy of buying back shares since 2012(more on this below).</p><h2>AAPL Reason #2: Highly Efficient</h2><p>Although services represent a sizable 20% of total sales, Apple is still primarily a consumer products vendor. Companies like it live and die by how tightly it manages working capital – that is, receivables and inventory on the asset side, payables on the liability side.</p><p>The less cash a company ties up in receivables and inventory, and the longer it takes a company to pay its own vendors, the better. Introducing the concept of cash conversion cycle: the time it takes a company to convert cash into inventory, and then back into cash via sales.</p><p>On working capital management, Apple stands out. According to Finbox, Apple’s cash conversion cycle is -62 days – yes, a negative number. It effectively means that Apple does not tie up cash in operations at all: instead, operations are financed by Apple’s vendors.</p><p>The Cupertino giant is one of the few tech companies in the world that can pull this off.</p><h2>AAPL Reason #3: Shareholder Friendly</h2><p>One of the reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC drastically (see #1 reason above) is due to share buybacks. Cash return to shareholders alone, in fact, is a great incentive to own Apple stock.</p><p>The chart below shows how Apple has been aggressive at buying its own shares since 2012 – shortly after CEO Tim Cook took over from legendary founder Steve Jobs. From 26 billion shares outstanding in 2013, the count has been cut by nearly half now.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edc0fe435dfa3b213c100c70c5fed531\" tg-width=\"1186\" tg-height=\"339\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Figure 3: AAPL&#39;s diluted shares.</span></p><p>The benefits have been twofold. First, fewer shares outstanding mean that net income is distributed across fewer shareholder units. As a result, earnings per share, a metric closely tracked by investors and analysts, have increased.</p><p>Second, Apple’s stock buyback program allows the company to be an ever-present bullish force in the market. Even when other investors turn sour on Apple stock, at least the Cupertino company can be there to create demand for its own shares.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Big Reasons To Love Apple Stock</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Big Reasons To Love Apple Stock\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-24 23:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.thestreet.com/apple/stock/3-big-reasons-to-love-apple-stock><strong>TheStreet</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Let’s take a step back from the news of the day: why is AAPL a great stock to own?

Think of the formula:ROIC = NOPAT ÷ Invested Capital, in which:NOPAT is the net operating profit after tax, a similar concept to net incomeInvested capital is largely equity plus debt investments minus cashThe higher the ROIC, the better. It means that the company is able to “deliver more with less”: lots of profits with relatively small quantities of capital invested into the firm.Companies in a good competitive position whose wide moat protects the business model well tend to have high ROIC. On the other hand, cut-throat competition that chips away at a company’s profits and margins tends to lead to low ROIC.Apple’s ROIC hovered around 35% in 2010, within three years following the launch of the iPhone and the iPad. That’s really not a bad number at all, considering Apple’s weighted cost of capital that is probably short of 10%.But since then, Apple’s ROIC has skyrocketed (see below). Today, the number is a staggering 56%. Relative to the investment that debtholders and equity holders have placed into the company, Apple is a massive profit-producing machine.Figure 2: AAPL's ROIC.There are two main reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC, especially in the past five years. First, profits (the numerator) have increased as (1) the 5G-capable iPhone models became a hit among consumers, (2) Apple was able to maintain pricing power, and (3) margins improved with the growth of the services segment.Second, investments in the company (the denominator) have decreased sharply, mostly due to Apple’s aggressive strategy of buying back shares since 2012(more on this below).AAPL Reason #2: Highly EfficientAlthough services represent a sizable 20% of total sales, Apple is still primarily a consumer products vendor. Companies like it live and die by how tightly it manages working capital – that is, receivables and inventory on the asset side, payables on the liability side.The less cash a company ties up in receivables and inventory, and the longer it takes a company to pay its own vendors, the better. Introducing the concept of cash conversion cycle: the time it takes a company to convert cash into inventory, and then back into cash via sales.On working capital management, Apple stands out. According to Finbox, Apple’s cash conversion cycle is -62 days – yes, a negative number. It effectively means that Apple does not tie up cash in operations at all: instead, operations are financed by Apple’s vendors.The Cupertino giant is one of the few tech companies in the world that can pull this off.AAPL Reason #3: Shareholder FriendlyOne of the reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC drastically (see #1 reason above) is due to share buybacks. Cash return to shareholders alone, in fact, is a great incentive to own Apple stock.The chart below shows how Apple has been aggressive at buying its own shares since 2012 – shortly after CEO Tim Cook took over from legendary founder Steve Jobs. From 26 billion shares outstanding in 2013, the count has been cut by nearly half now.Figure 3: AAPL's diluted shares.The benefits have been twofold. First, fewer shares outstanding mean that net income is distributed across fewer shareholder units. As a result, earnings per share, a metric closely tracked by investors and analysts, have increased.Second, Apple’s stock buyback program allows the company to be an ever-present bullish force in the market. Even when other investors turn sour on Apple stock, at least the Cupertino company can be there to create demand for its own shares.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":120,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9960990262,"gmtCreate":1668040459256,"gmtModify":1676538001992,"author":{"id":"4107036505850050","authorId":"4107036505850050","name":"tiger01","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9474fcc99fad0ed1e7c2240cf9e10223","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107036505850050","authorIdStr":"4107036505850050"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"But Tesla also will die together if killed to twitter.&nbsp;","listText":"But Tesla also will die together if killed to twitter.&nbsp;","text":"But Tesla also will die together if killed to twitter.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9960990262","repostId":"2282866791","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2282866791","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1668038540,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2282866791?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-10 08:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk Says He \"Killed\" New Official Label for Twitter Accounts -Tweet","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2282866791","media":"Reuters","summary":"Nov 9 (Reuters) - Elon Musk said in a tweet on Wednesday that he \"killed\" the new official label for","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Nov 9 (Reuters) - Elon Musk said in a tweet on Wednesday that he &#34;killed&#34;

However, consumers still have some savings and the states \"are flush with cash,\" he said. \"There's good reason to think it will be a reasonably strong economy,\" Powell said.A \"difficult correction\" in the housing market should result in a more normal price growth path, compared with the red-hot housing market earlier this year.The CME FedWatchtool now puts a 69.1% probability of a 75 bps rate hike at the next FOMC meeting in November, and then a 65.7% chance for a 50 bps increase in December.Powell ends the press conference, saying the path the Fed takes \"will be enough\" to bring inflation down.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":71,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9913334573,"gmtCreate":1663908756692,"gmtModify":1676537361689,"author":{"id":"4107036505850050","authorId":"4107036505850050","name":"tiger01","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9474fcc99fad0ed1e7c2240cf9e10223","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107036505850050","authorIdStr":"4107036505850050"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Surely long for Apple","listText":"Surely long for Apple","text":"Surely long for Apple","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9913334573","repostId":"2269246541","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2269246541","pubTimestamp":1663900675,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2269246541?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-23 10:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Should You Really Buy Apple Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2269246541","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Pre-sales for the latest iPhone may seem strong, but its lower-tiered models are not selling as expected.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>KEY POINTS</h2><ul><li>The iPhone makes up the biggest portion of Apple&#39;s revenue.</li><li>Its base models are usually the best-selling iPhones in the yearly lineup.</li><li>However, this year it&#39;s the Pro models that are selling like hotcakes.</li></ul><p><b>Apple</b> is one of the most innovative companies to date.
