In mid-August, when the stock was barely down on the year, it had a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 28.8. But the sell-off has brought Apple&#39;s P/E down to a much more attractive 20.6. Meanwhile, the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has a P/E of 19.7.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96e83c17e57bb53bf7684d5bd8f178e6\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"465\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AAPL PE ratio; data by YCharts.</p><p>Apple stock traded at a below-market multiple with a P/E of less than 15 for much of the first half of the 2010s. And that made sense given the cyclicality of its business in a time that predated the product and services portfolio we know today.</p><p>With the power of its brand and the omnipresence of phones and their utility in our lives today, Apple stock should trade at a market premium. But given its slowing growth and the likelihood of more of the same in the quarters to come, it&#39;s understandable that investors wouldn&#39;t want to pay too much of a premium in the current market.</p><p>In sum, Apple stock deserved to fall, but now it&#39;s at a point where it&#39;s an attractive valuation for long-term investors.</p><h2>A weakening balance sheet</h2><p>Perhaps the least talked-about red flag for Apple is its rising debt position. Its total net long-term debt is now at an all-time high -- which may come as a shock to investors considering that the company has historically kept gobs of cash on its balance sheet.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59dceb5d62091b7272cee861692e111d\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"465\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AAPL net total long-term debt (quarterly); data by YCharts.</p><p>In the past, Apple used its lush cash position to buy back its own stock at opportune times and reinvest in the business. This time around, it may be pressured to use free cash flow to pay down debt instead of buying back its own stock.</p><p>What&#39;s more, the company&#39;s growing debt position is coming during a period of rising interest rates and weakening consumer demand -- not a good time for a business to be piling debt onto its balance sheet.</p><h2>Apple stock is worth buying now</h2><p>The short-term outlook is riddled with uncertainty. But that doesn&#39;t take away from the core investment thesis of why the company is unrivaled and has a long growth runway.</p><p>In fiscal 2022, services made up 19.8% of total revenue but featured a 71.7% gross margin compared to a 36.3% gross margin for products. The growth of the services segment over the last few years bodes well as a high-margin recurring revenue stream. But that doesn&#39;t take away from the fact that the company&#39;s gross margin and volume on its products are unheard of in the consumer electronics industry.</p><p>What&#39;s more, the growth in Apple Pay, Apple Card, and Apple&#39;s augmented-reality products add plenty of new revenue streams for the company in the years to come.</p><p>In sum, Apple has the staying power and relevance of a consumer staple company paired with the long-term growth and margins of a discretionary or tech company.</p><p>Considering the reasons discussed, it makes sense that Apple stock fell. But given the sell-off and the fundamental strength of the business, now could be a good time to start dollar-cost averaging into Apple stock.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","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 Reasons Apple Stock Keeps Falling</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 Reasons Apple Stock Keeps Falling\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-03 20:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/02/3-reasons-why-apple-stock-keeps-falling/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In mid-August, shares of Apple were near an all-time high and down only slightly on the year.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has a P/E of 19.7.AAPL PE ratio; data by YCharts.Apple stock traded at a below-market multiple with a P/E of less than 15 for much of the first half of the 2010s. And that made sense given the cyclicality of its business in a time that predated the product and services portfolio we know today.With the power of its brand and the omnipresence of phones and their utility in our lives today, Apple stock should trade at a market premium. But given its slowing growth and the likelihood of more of the same in the quarters to come, it's understandable that investors wouldn't want to pay too much of a premium in the current market.In sum, Apple stock deserved to fall, but now it's at a point where it's an attractive valuation for long-term investors.A weakening balance sheetPerhaps the least talked-about red flag for Apple is its rising debt position. Its total net long-term debt is now at an all-time high -- which may come as a shock to investors considering that the company has historically kept gobs of cash on its balance sheet.AAPL net total long-term debt (quarterly); data by YCharts.In the past, Apple used its lush cash position to buy back its own stock at opportune times and reinvest in the business. This time around, it may be pressured to use free cash flow to pay down debt instead of buying back its own stock.What's more, the company's growing debt position is coming during a period of rising interest rates and weakening consumer demand -- not a good time for a business to be piling debt onto its balance sheet.Apple stock is worth buying nowThe short-term outlook is riddled with uncertainty. But that doesn't take away from the core investment thesis of why the company is unrivaled and has a long growth runway.In fiscal 2022, services made up 19.8% of total revenue but featured a 71.7% gross margin compared to a 36.3% gross margin for products. The growth of the services segment over the last few years bodes well as a high-margin recurring revenue stream. But that doesn't take away from the fact that the company's gross margin and volume on its products are unheard of in the consumer electronics industry.What's more, the growth in Apple Pay, Apple Card, and Apple's augmented-reality products add plenty of new revenue streams for the company in the years to come.In sum, Apple has the staying power and relevance of a consumer staple company paired with the long-term growth and margins of a discretionary or tech company.Considering the reasons discussed, it makes sense that Apple stock fell. But given the sell-off and the fundamental strength of the business, now could be a good time to start dollar-cost averaging into Apple stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":407,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"followers","isTTM":true}
