Thoughts on the upcoming Apple earnings

People say Apple has been a winner in AI by doing nothing. In my opinion, this is false and it is going to start showing as soon as this quarter. The reason is that AI-caused shortages in chips, memory will hit smartphones and consumer devices hard. Because the margins are far greater for AI chips and HBM memory, companies bidding for TSMC, SK Hynix, and Samsung chip wafers can outbid Apple. This means Apple will have to make a choice: eat the higher costs and lower margins for iPhones, iPads, Macs, etc or raise prices and sell fewer devices. Up until now, they didn't have to do this because they had longer term contracts with TSMC and RAM makers. But this is going to be less true for Apple as time passes. Apple is in a better position than other consumer focused companies because their pricing power is stronger but they're not immune to this shortage. I think they will have an amazing financial results last quarter, but their guidance will cause their stock to drop or stay flat. The problem for Apple is that they won't have the AI revenue to make up for the consumer problem. They don't have AI revenues from Azure, Google Cloud/Gemini, or AWS. And they don't have the growth from LLM training like OpenAI or Anthropic. I speak from being an AAPL investor for many years. I stopped investing in Apple when ChatGPT released. I focused on AI chip and energy companies instead. I still own AAPL but I've not bought a single more share in 3 years+. That said, I won't sell Apple because their products are still very sticky and they're the best at on-device AI chips through Apple Silicon. They have a chance to be a strong local AI player in the future. However, the next 1-3 years might be rough for Apple. My history and views: I've been early and correct in every single post 2 months ago, I told you to focus on companies that produce the physical goods needed for AI to function: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1r2nbln/ai_play_isnt_just_gpus_its_everything_physically/ Every single company I mentioned is way higher. I had negative upvotes and non-believers in the comments section. One month ago, I called the CPU shortage and told you to buy TSMC, Intel, AMD and among others: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1rkep5v/the_upcoming_cpu_shortage/ TSMC up 20% in 1 month, Intel up 87%, AMD up 70%. Vast majority of comments were non-believers. Just before Intel earnings, I told you people are still underestimating CPU shortage: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1stkmwz/reminder_cpus_are_in_huge_demand_intel_earnings/ Intel up 23% after earnings. Vast majority of comments were non-believers. I'm a SaaSpocalypse believer and do not invest in software companies. I believe software will be cheap to produce but physical things will cost more in the future: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1so605s/figma_falls_77_as_anthropic_introduces_claude/ Finally, my general view of AI is that there isn't a bubble (yet).

Starmer says ‘vast majority’ of Labour MPs still support him, despite Mandelson controversy – as it happened

Prime minister says ‘you never hear from … the people who are supportive, loyal and just want to get on with the job’ Keir Starmer and the Labour party continue to fight to maintain control in the aftermath of the Mandelson controversy. Starmer spoke to the Sunday Times about how he believed that the vast majority of Labour still supports him and that his party can still win in May. Darren Jones, the chief secretary to the prime minister, took to the morning shows to defend Starmer and Labour, noting that in his work abroad and campaigning around the country, Mandelson is rarely mentioned and that particularly during a town hall yesterday with constituents, “Peter Mandelson didn’t come up once”. “People are more worried about the impact of the Middle East on their energy bills,” Jones said. Chris Philp, shadow home secretary, said that if Starmer doesn’t resign, “Labour backbenchers and ministers should develop a backbone and get rid of him”. SNP also called for Starmer’s resignation on Sunday in response to a Daily Mail story quoting Labour insiders as saying that the prime minister was considering sacking chancellor Rachel Reeves. “Keir Starmer is living on another planet if he thinks he can save his skin by sacking everyone else,” said Kirsty Blackman, SNP chief whip. Kirsty Blackman, SNP chief whip, responded on Sunday to a Daily Mail story quoting unnamed Labour insiders as saying that Keir Starmer is considering firing chancellor Rachel Reeves in a cabinet reshuffle in the aftermath of the Mandelson scandal.

Are long research notes actually useful? I'm starting to think they might be a trap.

I am an investor investing solely in indian equities. I used to write nothing in my initial years, nor did I research much before buying a stock. As I grew as an investor, I realized the importance of researching your own stocks and having a strong hold on its business, future plans, and the industry landscape. This has genuinely helped me noticing relevant news, articles etc. because I developed some context and independent opinion on my stocks. Plus it gave me joy learning about the businesses I was investing in. My problem has been the research documentation. I generally go through the company's PPTs and reports they publish in their earnings calls. I also take a fair bit of help from LLMs to summarzie these reports for me and help me with my questions and do a thinking exercise. It covers vast topics like the risk, the competition, valuation, the industrial cycle and macro company operates in, margin profile etc. etc. Then I put together the research notes in a few pages of google docs. I took LLMs help to generate the lengthy research notes that cover my findings along with source. I tried a few different formats to distill my research into simpler versions with no real clarity. What I observed about myself is that when I am reviewing one of my stock a few months down the line I skim through the long research notes and the longer it is, the harder it becomes for me to invalidate and exit. I am not able to figure out the most important factors that should derive my action - hold / sell / accumulate / trim. All i get is a list of pros and cons which makes me confused and take decision in the moment clouded by my emotional state at the time. Does anybody else feel the same? What works for you guys as a disciplinary system for your stock portfolio? What kind of workflows or structure do you guys follow before buying a stock? Edit: Summary from all the responses I received. one pager with reason to buy, what specifically will break it, pre-written buy-sell triggers are the common pointers across the comments. submitted by /u/Bake-Upstairs [link] [comments]
