As of yesterday’s shut of $131.94, AAPL trades at a 26.6x a number of on my NTM EPS estimate (25.8x when excluding NTM web money and dividends).
For the annual replace on the capital return program, I count on the quarterly dividend will go to 23¢ from 20.5¢ (+12.2%) and $135b added to the roughly $10b remaining by now within the share repurchase authorization ($32b remained by Dec) offering a snug cushion to maintain $85-95b annual tempo of buybacks.
Final quarter’s income/EPS development of 34/64% is totally dumbfounding (and clearly not sustainable) for this dimension of a enterprise, an outlier ensuing from final 12 months’s impression on manufacturing (and demand to a lesser extent) from the pandemic closures. Mid-term (2-3y) income development ought to decelerate to nonetheless remarkably sturdy low-teens due to WFH, homegrown silicon transition, and 5G adoption, leveraged via buybacks to attain high-teens EPS development. Longer-term (>3y) income development of excessive single-digits mixed with continued sturdy buyback tempo yields sustainable double-digit EPS development.
On valuation, I am sticking with a 22x long-term a number of goal for now (trailing lags at 16x however quick catching up by a degree per quarter), at the very least till outlier outcomes of this quarter (and maybe FY) are behind us, as that is after we’ll get higher validation of the sustainable long-term development potential that I am at present projecting.
