Welcome to 2 Minute Analysis. Our goal is to not only entertain, but provide value and insights about the investments you care about. So, let’s throw 2 minutes on the clock and dive-in.
Now we’re kicking the New Year off with the name everybody knows and loves, Apple Inc., ticker symbol AAPL. First things first, the Quant rating system is currently a Hold on the stock, and we’re going to dive deeper into the metrics here in just a moment.

Now, let’s dive deeper. This is a $4 trillion market capitalization company found in the Information Technology sector and Technology Hardware Storage and Peripherals industry.
The Valuation grade is currently an F. If we take a look, we can see that the PEG ratio is currently 1.60, compared to the sector at 0.97. Of course, typically, we like to see that number be underneath 1, but people are obviously paying a premium for the moat that Apple has as a business. Secondly, EV-to-EBITDA Forward is 25.21, compared to the sector at 15.25, and as well as the price-to-cash flow here is 28.34, compared to the sector at 19.43, giving the F grade there for valuation.
Diving into Growth is currently a D-. The EPS diluted growth forward of 14.55% is a little above the sector at 13.13%. And the revenue growth year-over-year was only 6.43%, compared to the sector at 9.19%.
Profitability grade is currently an A+, and that net income margin of 26.92% massively outperforms the sector at 4.83%. The Momentum of this share price here, one year price performance of 11.14% dwarfs the sector at just 36 basis points there, and even the three month price performance of 5.40% is outperforming the sector median, which is down 6.39%.
Lastly, Revisions grade B- here with 32 up revisions and 6 down revisions for earnings per share and 35 up revisions and 2 down revisions for revenue numbers over the last three months.
Now, this is a dividend paying stock. The yield isn’t much though, only 38 basis points here. The five-year growth rate of 4.99%. Dividend safety is an A grade. Dividend growth is an A+. Dividend yield D-, and dividend consistency is a B. However, if you look at the dividend growth, you’ll see that it underperforms the market slightly, and the dividend yield definitely underperforms the market here, mainly because they like to allocate their capital towards that massive share buyback program.
