Narratives
AAPLApple
MixedKevin is excited about Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone Ultra and the potential for improved on-device AI, but he views the stock's current valuation as rich and is not excited to buy at current prices. He notes the stock trades at a high PEG ratio with modest priced-in earnings growth, though he acknowledges growth could beat expectations if edge AI adoption accelerates.
Key Arguments
- Foldable iPhone Ultra with a creaseless design could be a major product catalyst and premium price point
- Apple's on-device AI (edge AI) is slowly improving, e.g. photo search and AI summaries now work better than when first announced
- Open weight models running on Apple hardware could be a future upside driver
- Apple's margins are strong and the company has a track record of successfully pricing premium products
Hedges & Caveats
- Acknowledges foldable phone is still in rumor stage
- Notes that edge AI improvements will take several more years to fully materialize
- Mentions limited supply expected for the foldable model
- Recognizes higher price point ($2,399) may limit addressable market
- States this is based on Chinese publication reports, not official Apple announcements
