Core Viewpoint - Apple is currently trading at a high valuation with a trailing P/E of 36x and a forward P/E of 33x, despite lacking a blockbuster product recently and only achieving a 10% return over the past year [1][2]. Valuation Metrics - The company's valuation metrics indicate premium multiples, with a trailing P/E of 36x and a forward P/E of 33x, reflecting a richly valued status [2]. - Recent fiscal year earnings growth followed two years of stagnation, suggesting a potential shift in performance [2]. - Retail sentiment data from Reddit shows bearish sentiment scores between 32-38 on r/wallstreetbets, while r/stocks remains neutral [2].

Core Viewpoint - Berkshire Hathaway's recent reduction in its Apple stake appears to be a strategic move to manage an oversized position rather than a sign of declining confidence in Apple's business [1][2]. Group 1: Berkshire's Position in Apple - As of September 30, Berkshire Hathaway owned 238.2 million shares of Apple, down from 280.0 million shares three months prior [5]. - The current value of Berkshire's Apple position exceeds $65 billion, making it the largest holding, significantly ahead of its second-largest holding, American Express, valued at approximately $57 billion [6]. - Apple's stock represents about 20% of Berkshire's total equity portfolio and approximately 6% of Berkshire's total market capitalization, which is around $1.07 trillion [6][7].
