Apple's Share Price and AI Potential Attract Hedge Funds Hedge funds are circling Apple like sharks in feeding frenzy, according to a recent report by Bloomberg. This newfound interest stems from a confluence of factors: a recent slump in Apple's share price and the company's anticipated foray into artificial intelligence (AI) for its flagship iPhones. A Discount Apple: Value in Slumping Shares Apple's stock price has dipped by roughly 13% so far in 2024, lagging behind the broader market. This decline has made the company's valuation more attractive to hedge funds, who are constantly seeking strategic buying opportunities. JPMorgan Chase analysts point out that Apple's current valuation, hovering around 24 times its forward earnings, is lower compared to its tech megacap peers like Microsoft. It's even slightly below the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 benchmark. This relative discount has piqued the interest of value-oriented hedge funds searching for undervalued stocks with strong growth potential. AI: The Next Frontier for iPhones? Hedge funds are not just enticed by the discounted share price; they're also excited about the potential for AI integration within Apple's iPhones. The anticipation of significant AI upgrades to future iPhones is seen as a major growth driver. While details remain under wraps, analysts speculate that Apple might be planning to incorporate advanced AI features into its iPhones, potentially revolutionizing user experience and functionality. This strategic shift aligns with the broader trend of tech giants embracing AI to enhance their products and services. Navigating Headwinds: Challenges Remain Despite the recent surge in hedge fund interest, Apple isn't without its challenges. The ongoing global chip shortage continues to disrupt supply chains, potentially impacting production and shipment timelines for new iPhones. Additionally, the economic slowdown in China, a crucial market for Apple, could dampen overall demand for its products. A Strategic Entry Point: Betting on Apple's Future JPMorgan analysts see the current headwinds as a strategic entry point for hedge funds. They believe these challenges are temporary and that Apple is well-positioned for long-term growth, especially with its anticipated AI advancements. Hedge funds are likely betting on Apple's ability to innovate and maintain its market dominance within the premium smartphone segment. The success of AI integration within iPhones could be a game-changer, propelling Apple's share price significantly higher. The Bottom Line: A Calculated Gamble The influx of hedge fund interest underscores Apple's enduring appeal as a potentially undervalued tech giant. While the short-term outlook might be clouded by economic uncertainties and supply chain disruptions, the long-term prospects appear promising, fueled by the company's commitment to AI development. However, investors, including hedge funds, should carefully consider the inherent risks before dipping their toes into the Apple stock pool. The success of Apple's AI endeavors will ultimately determine whether this surge in hedge fund interest translates into a sustained rise in the company's share price.

AAPL Apple WAIT to BUYAAPL Apple WAIT to BUY If you look at Weekly TF: there is still room for downside There is a good support at 170$, however, one should not give any money to market by jumping the gun. Any trade should be initiated only at support OR when price breaks the TL in the direction of our trade. Better way to initiate a BUY entry would be, when price breaks above the Red Sloping TL and closes above it, Then a BUY entry can be initiated. If a BUY entry is initiated, then 1st Target would be 180, 2nd Target would be 195 For stop loss (Partial exit ) when price breaks below the Red Sloping TL and complete exit when Green HOrizontal Support TL at 170 gets breached.

APPLE $AAPL - Mar. 9th, 2024APPLE NASDAQ:AAPL - Mar. 9th, 2024 BUY/LONG ZONE (GREEN): $174.25 - $187.15 DO NOT TRADE/DNT ZONE (WHITE): $168.15 - $174.25 SELL/SHORT ZONE (RED): $155.65 - $168.15 (or extended from previous post, $175.40 - $181.50) Weekly: Bearish Daily: Bearish 4H: Bearish NASDAQ:AAPL price completely smashed through the bearish zone. Here are the updated zones I would be looking at when entering trades. Extended hours are displayed on the 4h to show how price moved towards the bottom and throughout the bearish zone, price went strongly through the bottom level and with no reversal insight shorts should have continued, at least partially. As a trend trader I am open to going in either direction, however; I would not consider going long until at the very least there is a close above the $174.25 level, but even then the weekly timeframe will not have enough time to label it as bullish. I labeled the start of the bearish trend and some quick thoughts as I glanced at the charts, previous post will be linked with this one. This is what I would personally look at before entering trades, everything is subject to change on a daily basis and as I analyze different timeframes and ideas. ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY, NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!

AAPL: Time for PutsFirstly I'm a huge NASDAQ:AAPL fan when it comes to their products, however, I believe the time has come to buy some Put Options. Trend Analysis Utilizing the 1D chart, I found a double-top "M" pattern and at the time of this idea we are currently sitting a little under the second peak. The descent can be steep according to a macro-Fibonacci tool where the $125 share price rests around a 50% retracement level. Support at this level has been strong since May 2021. I used two micro-Fibonacci tools to identify areas of minor support during the descent. I believe the use of both is necessary as some traders will be using the uptrend retracement (green) and others will use the downtrend retracement (red). I believe that there is a good possibility for reversal at the 61.8% downtrend Fib retracement as this level has been a key area of support and resistance since August 2021; see image below. It goes without saying that by the time the share price reaches this level, the double top pattern will already be considered valid so it's my opinion that a catalyst in the form of bad news will be required to see further declines. Fundamental Analysis According to the Q3 Earnings Call (Annual Report), Apple has only utilized 17.67% of its $90 billion dollar share repurchase program authorized in May '23. According to a later footnote, Apple repurchased $76.6 billion of its shares during 2023 which leads me to believe there is either a mistake in the report or that most of the $76.6 billion satisfies an earlier repurchase program. On the 10K form, see bottom of page 18 - note 1 and bottom of page 20. Cash on-hand has increased by 27% since September 2022. Current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) is 0.99 which is concerning from a financial standpoint. However, this is an improvement from September 2022 when its current ratio was 0.88. Retained earnings, while still in a deficit, has improved by 93% since September 2022. These deficits were self-inflicted as Apple spent most of its net income on stock repurchases the last three years. Sentiments I didn't find anything that changed my opinion on the current market trend for Apple. While the company does appear to be improving it is still in a rough spot. The aggressive repurchasing of its own stock and placing itself into a deficit doesn't make sense to me as a long-term plan. I understand that companies will do this to raise their EPS and benefit their shareholders but it also says that the company doesn't plan on expanding in the foreseeable future.

Apple Is Close To Losing Its Spot As The Most Valuable StockApple's shares (AAPL -0.70%) have had an astounding year, with an increase of over 45% in 2023. Microsoft is right on your tail and gaining fast. Supercharged by its AI chops, Microsoft's market value is now $2.8 trillion — just 5.7% shy of Apple's at $2.98 trillion. "As markets and investors start to wrap up the year, Microsoft seems destined to be the most valuable public company in the world once again. Positive Outlook As the world's most valuable company, with a market cap of $2.9 trillion, it's always a good idea to keep Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) on your radar. The tech giant has hit some roadblocks this year as macroeconomic headwinds curbed consumer spending and led to repeated declines in Apple's product sales. Meanwhile, the company's digital services business is rapidly expanding, outperforming all other segments in growth.

Apple remains a reliable long-term buy Apple's stock has climbed over 300% in the last five years.

However, Apple's financials remain a compelling reason to invest in its stock and could offer reliable gains over the long term.
