Apple's Innovation Slows as Valuation Stays Rich
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) recently held its WWDC 2025 presentation, and as always, some new developments were expected, which the company did deliver, but they fell far short of expectations or of being factors that would really change the thesis. And that, in my view, sums up Apple today. There is nothing wrong with the company (just as there was nothing exactly bad about the event), it is still quite solid and has huge moats, but in my view, the premium remains unjustifiable, and therefore, the total return, or IRR, is quite low with the current market cap. Before talking about WWDC 2025, let's talk about 2024. At the same event last year, the company revealed a number of interesting things for its operating systems. A series of features related to customization, a lot of interesting things for the iPad used with the Apple Pencil, and most importantly, Apple Intelligence. And this Apple's AI seemed very promising to boost its product cycle, and the company needed that. So, it was something that took away the burden of Apple being a loser in the AI race and put it back in the forefront, reinforcing the thesis that with its loyal user base and diverse products, it would be able to apply and monetize this well. Well, Apple Intelligence didn't exactly fail; its features are useful, but it's worth mentioning that it wasn't quite what it seemed to be a year ago. Some things still need to be improved, and all that. But the point is that, especially when compared to last year, this year's event can be labeled as disappointing. The main novelty of WWDC 2025 was Liquid Glass, an interface update that was even a little controversial, with some users concerned about how the interface will be in the next iOS, and some other features that even seem reasonable. But the point here is, there was no super innovative feature, nothing like Apple Intelligence, no eye-catching point related to AI or the like. And that may not seem super worrying, and it really isn't, since it's a conference more focused on software and the company will still have the opportunity to surprise us with the launch of the iPhone 17, but still, it's as if Apple missed an opportunity to prove itself, and it still needs to do that. When we analyze the last quarter, revenue was $95.3 billion. This gives us a YoY growth of 5.2%, which is already enough for compounding when dealing with a premium company like this. The problem is that in products, growth was less than 3%, i.e., what sustained this entire increase was the main bullish pillar of the thesis today: services. Services revenue grew almost 12% YoY. In addition to driving revenue, services are also driving gross margin, which reached 47%. This is clearly a very important pillar for Apple, and will most likely be the main generator of value in the coming years. There is nothing wrong with that, except for some uncertainties and dependence. First, there are uncertainties in services. Even if the company manages to continue adding more services and subscription prices grow at a reasonable pace, there are many regulatory uncertainties. Apple has already faced legal challenges regarding Apple Store fees, for instance. If the company has to lower this fee or open up part of its system for some reason, and this results in lower revenue from its platforms, we may see a slowdown in services growth. The second point is dependence. In my view, the moats are clear, but the valuation is also premium. Therefore, it is not possible to credit the entire value of the thesis to services. There also needs to be clearer triggers for its products, whether the company is implementing new features, innovating in the next iPhones, or creating/exploring new markets, as was the (so far unsuccessful) attempt with Apple Vision Pro. It is worth mentioning that both services and products, even with a loyal fan base and a complete ecosystem that ends up being a barrier to exit, are exposed to the risk of competition. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (SSNGY), for instance, has been doing a good job with its smartphones in terms of AI integration. India is an emerging market and is one of the triggers for Apple due to premiumization trends in emerging countries as people's incomes increase and they are able to buy their first smartphones and also migrate to more premium products. But even though this is one of the pillars for enhancing revenue growth, the competition is clear. In the table below, we can see that Apple posted YoY growth of 23% in the Indian market in Q1, but Vivo, Samsung, and other Chinese brands such as Oppo, Realme, and Xiaomi are doing very well too. This raises the bar for Apple and means that its strategies, innovation, and product appeal need to be even greater. As for the gurus, many are reducing their positions in Apple, and not just Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio). Some examples are Mario Gabelli (Trades, Portfolio), Li Lu, Tom Russo (Trades, Portfolio), and several others, as this tab shows. Many of these investors are stock pickers, care about value investing, and/or have low portfolio turnover, which indicates that Apple is not really compelling enough to make reducing positions an appropriate tactic. The 10-Year Treasury yield is currently at 4.5%. This means that if we used a discount rate of 4.5% for Apple's projected free cash flow, we would be asking for a 0% equity risk premium. To show how the current valuation is not so compelling, let's make optimistic assumptions. For the growth stage, let's assume a 10% CAGR for FCF. For the terminal stage, let's estimate 6%. Discounting this at a rate of 5% gives us a fair value of $197, still below Apple's current price. It is worth mentioning that this is only a proxy for fair value. It is possible to argue that Apple will not generate free cash flow for only 20 years, and that in good cycles it may present a CAGR above 6%. In the last decade, for example, this FCF grew by about 13.7% per share, a result not only of free cash flow growth but also of buybacks. But in my view, this scenario is enough to show that the current price does not offer a high margin of safety. Believing that the indicators will continue to grow at a consistently good pace and discounting at an incredibly low rate (0.5% equity risk premium) is very optimistic, and even then, there would be no upside. Apple is a premium company and deserves to be recognized for that. Its excellent track record, great profitability figures, strong margins, stable cash flow, and the prospect that it will continue to grow at a healthy pace really need a premium valuation. The question is just how premium it should be. The forward price-to-earnings ratio of 30x shows that for a reasonable upside, the company needs to surprise, and even if this scenario exists, it is not guaranteed. Therefore, at the current price, I am still more cautious about Apple. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

AAPL LEGAL ALERT: Lose Money on Your Apple Inc. Investment? Contact BFA Law by August 19 Class Action Deadline (NASDAQ:AAPL)
NEW YORK, Aug. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Apple, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until August 19, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Apple securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Tucker v. Apple Inc., et al., No. 5:25-cv-05197. Why was Apple Sued for Securities Fraud? Apple is a multinational technology company that engages primarily in the businesses of smart-devices and artificial intelligence ('AI'). Apple's software includes a digital personal assistant called 'Siri,' which was first introduced in October 2011. The complaint alleges that Apple misrepresented Siri's advanced AI-based features as well as its ability to deliver them within the iPhone 16 product cycle. In truth, as alleged, Apple lacked a functional prototype of Siri's purported advanced AI-based features and misrepresented the time it would take to integrate such features into its devices. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On March 7, 2025, Apple announced it was indefinitely delaying several AI-based Siri features, citing development delays and pushing their release to sometime 'in the coming year.' On this news, the price of Apple stock declined $11.59 per share, or almost 5%, from $239.07 per share on March 7, 2025, to $227.48 per share on March 10, 2025, the following trading day. Then, on June 9, 2025, Apple hosted its Worldwide Developer Conference for 2025. Noticeably, Apple failed to announce any new updates regarding advanced Siri features. Analysts and media outlets described the WWDC as 'underwhelming' and 'disappointing,' with CNN stating that 'it's unlikely that any of the announcements made at Monday's event will change the perception that Apple is behind its competitors in AI.' On this news, the price of Apple stock declined $2.47 per share, or over 1%, from $203.92 on June 6, 2025, to $201.45 per share on June 9, 2025, the following trading day.

The 5 Best-Performing Stocks Of 2025 So Far: See The Leaders
As we move through 2025, the stock market continues to reward companies positioned at the intersection of technological innovation and essential infrastructure. While headline-grabbing names like NVIDIA and Microsoft have delivered solid returns, some lesser-known players have crushed the market with triple-digit gains. This analysis focuses on the standout performers among S&P 500 companies with market capitalizations exceeding $10 billion. These aren't speculative penny stocks or volatile small-caps – they're substantial businesses that have managed to capture investor imagination while delivering real operational results. From artificial intelligence enablers to energy infrastructure plays, the top performers tell a fascinating story about where smart money is flowing in the evolving market landscape of 2025. How These Top Performing Stocks Were Chosen The methodology for identifying these market leaders is straightforward but selective. I screened all S&P 500 constituents with market capitalizations above $10 billion as of July 2025, then ranked them by year-to-date percentage returns. This market capitalization threshold ensures that we're examining established companies with meaningful institutional ownership and trading liquidity, rather than smaller, speculative plays. The $10 billion cutoff eliminates the volatility often associated with smaller companies while focusing on businesses large enough to impact portfolios and broader market indices meaningfully. These companies have demonstrated their staying power and represent sectors that institutional investors consider to have sustainable competitive advantages in today's rapidly evolving economic environment. The 5 Best Performing Stocks of 2025 So Far 1. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) Palantir's stunning 113% gain represents the single best performance among large-cap S&P 500 stocks in 2025. The data analytics and software company has successfully transitioned from a government-focused contractor to a diversified enterprise software provider, with commercial revenue growing at an explosive pace. The company's Foundry platform has gained significant traction among Fortune 500 companies seeking to harness artificial intelligence for operational efficiency. What sets Palantir apart is its unique positioning in the AI value chain. Rather than competing directly with model developers like OpenAI, Palantir focuses on implementation and deployment, helping organizations utilize AI to solve real business problems. This practical approach has resonated strongly with enterprise customers who need more than just access to large language models. The company's government contracts continue providing stability, while commercial expansion drives growth acceleration. With a market cap now approaching $56 billion, Palantir has evolved from a niche defense contractor into a legitimate enterprise software powerhouse, justifying investor enthusiasm despite the stock's remarkable run. 2. GE Vernova (GEV) GE Vernova's 90% surge reflects the market's recognition of the critical role energy infrastructure plays in supporting AI and data center expansion. As the spun-off energy division of General Electric, Vernova combines traditional power generation expertise with cutting-edge grid modernization and renewable energy solutions. The company benefits from massive infrastructure spending driven by AI's voracious energy appetite. Data centers supporting artificial intelligence workloads consume exponentially more electricity than traditional computing facilities, creating unprecedented demand for reliable power generation and distribution equipment. Vernova's portfolio encompasses gas turbines, wind turbines, grid solutions and energy storage, positioning it as a comprehensive infrastructure partner for utilities and large technology companies. The company's backlog continues growing as utilities rush to upgrade aging infrastructure while adding capacity for AI-driven demand. With governments worldwide prioritizing grid resilience and clean energy transitions, Vernova sits at the center of multiple powerful secular trends that should support growth well beyond 2025. 3. NRG Energy (NRG) NRG Energy's 78% gain demonstrates how traditional utilities can thrive in the new energy landscape. The Texas-based power generator and retailer has benefited from favorable commodity pricing, extreme weather events that boost electricity demand, and strategic positioning in high-growth markets. The company's integrated model – owning generation assets while selling directly to consumers – provides natural hedging against market volatility. Texas continues experiencing rapid population and economic growth, driving consistent demand increases for NRG's services. The state's deregulated electricity market allows NRG to capture value both as a generator and retailer, creating multiple revenue streams that traditional regulated utilities cannot access. Additionally, the company has made strategic investments in battery storage and renewable generation to complement its existing assets. NRG's focus on cash generation and shareholder returns has attracted income-focused investors seeking exposure to the energy transition. The company maintains a disciplined approach to capital allocation while benefiting from structural tailwinds in electricity demand, particularly from industrial customers and data center operators establishing facilities in Texas. 4. Howmet Aerospace (HWM) Howmet Aerospace's 70% appreciation reflects the aerospace industry's robust recovery and the company's specialized positioning in advanced materials and components. As a leading supplier of engineered products for aerospace and defense applications, Howmet benefits from both the return to growth in commercial aviation and increased defense spending driven by global security concerns. The company's advanced manufacturing capabilities in titanium, aluminum and nickel-based superalloys make it indispensable to aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus. These materials require sophisticated processing techniques that create significant barriers to entry, allowing Howmet to maintain strong margins even as the industry scales up production. Long-term contracts with original equipment manufacturers provide revenue visibility and pricing power. Defense applications represent another growth driver, with governments worldwide modernizing their military aircraft fleets. Howmet's components are critical for next-generation fighter jets and defense systems, creating a stable revenue base that complements cyclical demand in the commercial aerospace sector. The company's technical expertise and manufacturing scale position it well for continued outperformance. 5. Seagate Technology (STX) Seagate's 67% rally reflects the transformation of the data storage industry, driven by the growing demands of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. While solid-state drives have captured consumer mindshare, traditional hard disk drives remain essential for hyperscale data centers requiring massive storage capacity at reasonable costs. AI training and inference generate enormous data sets that must be stored efficiently and accessed reliably. The company has successfully repositioned itself from a consumer-focused commodity manufacturer to a provider of enterprise infrastructure. Cloud service providers, such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google, require petabytes of storage capacity, and Seagate's high-capacity drives offer the most cost-effective solution for "cold" data storage. This market dynamic has significantly improved pricing power and margins. Seagate's investments in advanced recording technologies, including heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), enable higher storage densities that maintain the company's competitive edge. As data generation accelerates across industries, Seagate benefits from structural demand growth that is expected to persist regardless of broader economic conditions. Honorable Mentions While NVIDIA's 25% gain might seem modest compared to our top five, the chip giant's massive $4 trillion market cap makes percentage moves more challenging to achieve. Similarly, Microsoft's 12.2% and Meta's 18.5% returns represent solid performance for megacap technology stocks, though they were outpaced by more specialized players positioned in high-growth niches. Bottom Line The 2025 market leaders share common themes: exposure to artificial intelligence infrastructure, energy transition dynamics and specialized market positions that create competitive moats. These aren't momentum plays or speculative bets – they're established companies benefiting from powerful secular trends reshaping the global economy. While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, these standout performers demonstrate how identifying the right structural trends can generate exceptional returns even among large, established companies.
