Apple Positioned for Long-Term Growth Despite Slowing Revenue and Key Risks
- Apple is undervalued compared to mega-cap peers based on price-to-free cash flow and other valuation metrics despite slower growth recently
- Apple has been acquiring AI companies for years and has underappreciated potential in AI compared to perceptions
- Revenue growth is slowing due to tough pandemic comps, but services ecosystem growth boosts stability and countercyclicality
- Antitrust risks and China production concentration are key threats, but Apple handled recent China factory unrest well
- Apple aligns with its mission still and has a meritocratic culture that should continue to execute at a high level over the long term
