From Nasdaq:

– Berkshire Hathaway, a holding company with exposure to various industries and a massive public-equities portfolio, owns a significant holding in Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), representing nearly half of its portfolio.

– Apple’s brand strength and ability to maintain pricing power sets it apart in the consumer electronics industry, maintaining an average gross margin of 41% over the last five years.

– Apple’s profitability, brand strength, and consistent growth in net income encouraged Warren Buffett to make the initial investment, driven by a ridiculously cheap valuation.

– However, concerns arise over Apple’s slowing growth, revenue drop in fiscal 2023, and an expensive valuation today, suggesting it may not be the best long-term investment.

– The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team opts not to include Apple among the best 10 stocks for investors to buy now, further raising doubts about the company’s investment potential.
