AAPL: Warren Buffett accelerates sale of Apple sharesBerkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, has dramatically reduced its holdings in Apple Inc., marking a significant shift in its investment strategy. Over the past seven quarters, Berkshire has been consistently selling off its Apple shares, with the process intensifying in the second quarter of 2024. During this period, Buffett disposed of over USD 75 billion in stocks, including a substantial portion of his Apple holdings, reducing Berkshire’s stake in Apple from 789 million shares at the end of Q1 to 400 million. The massive sell-off contributed to Berkshire Hathaway’s cash reserves reaching a record high of USD 276.9 billion. Buffett’s strategic move reflects broader market sentiments, where investors are increasingly cautious, favouring the security of high-yield US government bonds amid expectations of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Technical analysis of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) Reviewing Apple’s stock performance in light of recent developments: Timeframe : Daily (D1) Current trend: the stock is in a downtrend, exacerbated by the negative sentiment pervading the stock market and Buffett’s significant sell-off Resistance level : 225.60 USD Support level : the previous support at 214.50 USD has been breached Short-term target : if the downtrend continues, the next target could be 181.45 USD following a rebound from the broken support Medium-term target : a continued decline might see the stock reaching 172.70 USD Potential uptrend scenario : if market conditions improve and the stock reverses its current trend, a potential growth target could be set at 235.00 USD Investors and market watchers should closely monitor Apple’s stock, particularly in the context of Berkshire Hathaway’s reduced exposure and broader market dynamics. A significant divestment by a major investor like Buffett could influence other stakeholders and affect Apple’s stock performance in the near to medium term. — Ideas and other content presented on this page should not be considered as guidance for trading or an investment advice.

Apple (AAPL) Share Price Influenced by Psychological FactorsApple (AAPL) Share Price Influenced by Psychological Factors The first factor is the news that Warren Buffett is halving his position in AAPL shares. Whether this indicates that the legendary investor foresees the company losing its market leadership or a recession threat, Buffett's authority may create a psychological effect on retail investors and prompt them to sell their shares. The second factor is the breach of the $200 psychological level. After the strong rise above $200 per share in June, it seemed the price had securely settled above this round number. However, it's not uncommon for breakout tests to occur, stop-loss orders to be triggered, and the supply-demand balance to shift, resulting in price growth. For example, yesterday's price action saw the bulls nearly close a 7% bearish gap. Today's technical analysis of the AAPL stock chart shows that: → Opening at the lows and closing at the highs for the last two wide candles indicates demand activity. → Since May, the stock price has been moving within an ascending channel (shown in blue). Yesterday, the price closed near the median line, where it might stabilize. → If the bears attempt to resume pressure, pitchfan ray #4 may provide support. As the AAPL chart shows, the stock price found support in the previous three instances, visualized on the chart as days of upward trends with decreasing angle steepness. Interestingly, CNN Money's Fear & Greed Index showed a further decline in overall market sentiment, moving into the "Extreme Fear" zone on Monday. Would Buffett now follow his famous 1986 advice: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful"? According to a survey of 32 Wall Street analysts by TipRanks, 24 recommend buying Apple stock. Their average price forecast for AAPL is $248.96 over the next 12 months.

Is APPL priced to perfection? NASDAQ:AAPL It's really starting to feel like AAPL is getting ahead of itself here. Sure, their recent earnings report looked decent, but I think some big takeaways are the decrease in China sales and decrease in iPhone sales. Sure, their services revenue will continue to increase and their buyback props up the stock, but there has been no true innovation in this company. False hopes of an Apple car, now an overpriced VR headset, and iOS that will incorporate other companies' LLMs? Everyone is talking about the next upgrade cycle like it's going to change the outlook of the company. Yeah, Siri might improve, but there won't be any drastic impact on productivity with this first iteration. With all that said, it looks as though the stock is starting to settle down. Recent reports of Warren Buffett halving his stake in AAPL will likely translate to further downward pressure on this stock. AAPL has recently broken below the 20-day MA, retested, but failed to break back above. Now it is sitting between the 20 and 50-day MA. If it breaks below its 50-day MA, it will likely retest previous ATH support. My plan is to buy puts in the short term and hope for a pulldown towards $198.

Apple Stock Defies Market Downturn with Strong Q3 PerformanceIn a day marked by a broad-market selloff, Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ:AAPL ) stood out as a beacon of resilience and strength. The tech giant’s shares rose on Friday, buoyed by its impressive fiscal third-quarter results that surpassed Wall Street’s expectations. Here’s a closer look at Apple’s recent performance and what it means for investors. Stellar Earnings Report Apple reported a 4.9% year-over-year increase in revenue for the quarter ending June 29, reaching $85.8 billion. This growth was primarily driven by a 14.1% surge in services revenue, which hit $24.2 billion. Earnings per share (EPS) also saw a notable increase, rising 11.1% to $1.40, significantly above the anticipated $1.35 per share. "During the quarter, our record business performance generated EPS growth of 11 percent and nearly $29 billion in operating cash flow, allowing us to return over $32 billion to shareholders," said Luca Maestri, Apple’s Chief Financial Officer. "We are also very pleased that our installed base of active devices reached a new all-time high in all geographic segments, thanks to very high levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty." Key Performance Metrics - Mac Sales: Increased by 2.5% to $7 billion. - iPad Sales: Surged by 23.7% to $7.2 billion. - iPhone Sales: Slight decline of 0.9% to $39.3 billion. - Wearables, Home, and Accessories: Decreased by 2.2% to $8.1 billion. The growth in services and devices sales highlights Apple's diverse revenue streams, which continue to drive overall financial health despite minor setbacks in iPhone sales. Market Reactions and Future Outlook Wall Street reacted positively to Apple’s robust financial performance, with the stock gaining ground in a market otherwise dominated by losses. Since early May, following the announcement of a substantial stock buyback program, Apple’s shares have climbed nearly 32%. The consensus among analysts remains bullish, with an average target price of $231.32, indicating a potential upside of about 4% from current levels. Notably, Needham has set a higher price target of $260, suggesting over 16% growth potential. Needham analyst Laura Martin highlighted Apple’s strategic focus on leveraging its vast installed base of more than 1.25 billion wealthy consumers. "We believe Apple’s goal is to grow long-term volume through increasing the average revenue per user and lowering churn levels by up-selling its users into additional devices and services," Martin noted. Strategic Initiatives Apple’s strategy of enhancing its ecosystem through increased services and product integration continues to pay off. The company’s commitment to returning value to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends further solidifies its position as a stable and attractive investment. On the conference call, Maestri projected similar revenue growth rates for the fourth quarter, including double-digit growth in services. This positive outlook underscores the company’s ability to navigate economic uncertainties and maintain its growth trajectory. Conclusion Despite a turbulent market environment, Apple’s strong fiscal third-quarter results and strategic initiatives have positioned it well for continued success. The tech giant’s ability to deliver impressive earnings, maintain high customer loyalty, and execute effective growth strategies makes it a compelling stock for both current and potential investors. As Apple continues to innovate and expand its services, it remains a cornerstone of stability and growth in the tech sector. With Wall Street's confidence and a solid roadmap ahead, Apple’s stock is poised to keep delivering value to its shareholders.

APPLE Dont get fooled by the short-term pull-back. $280 on trackExactly 3 months ago (May 02, see chart below), we called for a strong buy signal on Apple (AAPL) and it dully delivered as 2 days ago the stock completed three straight green months with a new All Time High (ATH): The recent weekly pull-back shouldn't allow you to diverge from the bigger picture and on this analysis we look at it from a 1M time-frame perspective. As you can see, as long as the 1M MA50 (blue trend-line) holds, Apple will continue to be on a 15-year uptrend, which shows very distinct Phases. Right now we are on the Channel Up that followed the 2022 Inflation Crisis, which was a similar correction to 2015 - 2016 (China's slowdown). The Channel Up that followed peaked at +161% before the next correction towards the 1M MA50. Even the 2013 - 2014 rise was still +145%. As a result, we don't believe the current Channel Up to be over either, expecting a peak closer to 300. Our Target is marginally below it at $280.00. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!
