As of Friday’s closing value of $154.09, AAPL trades at a 21.9x a number of on my NTM EPS estimate (21.3x when excluding NTM web money and dividends).
Trimmed income projection by 2-3%, partially offset by barely extra affected person opex depth, nonetheless ends in long-term EPS progress trajectory holding up at excessive single-digits, so the 24x projected valuation stays legitimate, even conservative. The current market value dip to low-20s a number of affords the now uncommon alternative of a mean quarterly value under my “truthful” (or ahead) valuation stage (thus the blue dashed line within the chart under), one thing which was once the case always from late 2008 to early 2017 however has solely occurred as soon as (Jan-Feb 2019) within the final 5 years. Even after a 20% rebound from current lows, this nonetheless appears an distinctive alternative for long-term traders. As all the time, I could possibly be mistaken, so do your individual due diligence and determine in keeping with your specific risk-tolerance profile.
