Apple has much headroom to grow into, especially in services and – ahem! – new products in new markets (AR/VR headset, AR smartglasees, EVs, etc.).

MacDailyNews Take: The (unenacted and never signed) Law of Large Numbers was meant to be broken by Apple.īottom line: Apple stock is a buy, even more so at the current deep discount. The Apple flywheel is alive and well, following a 20-year success story in which consumers buy one Apple product, fall in love, buy another product, add a service, upgrade, and repeat. The stock’s reaction to a soft June revenue guide is the latest evidence that this investor shift is happening. Over the next five years, I expect investors will increasingly see Apple as a can’t live without consumer staples company.

I believe we are entering a new chapter in how investors view Apple. While Apple does not directly benefit from the sale of a used device, there is a long-term revenue opportunity of selling services and capturing hardware upgrades in future quarters. The used Apple device story is emerging as the company’s avenue to target the most price-sensitive smartphone buyer. That means more Apple customers are adding devices, and many of the devices that get turned in/resold are being refurbished and sold to first-time Apple customers.

Gene Munster, Deepwater Asset Management managing partner, joins CNBC’s “Squawk Box” to discuss Warren Buffett’s praise of Apple, the company’s stock outlook, and more.įor the March quarter, Apple beat estimates and revealed that its active base grew in the quarter to over 2 billion devices.
