"Apple's been on top for so long now," says Matt Warman in Britain's Telegraph, "there is only one way it can go." Indeed, Apple shares will never get back to $700, says The Economist.
Apple 10-Year Performance
Patient investors who held the stock through all of its ups and downs were rewarded with what Wall Street refers to as a “10-bagger,” a stock that provided a return of 10x the original investment. On a percentage basis, those who held Apple stock over the past 10 years earned a 916% return.
If Apple stock continues to produce median annual returns of 24% going forward, as it has since the early 1980s, getting to $500 would take about five years. Of course, if nominal share price matters, stock splits should be taken into account. Apple has announced splits five times in the past four decades.
The manager of the Baron Focused Growth Fund expects Tesla's stock to reach $1,200 by 2030, up 550% from current levels, citing its strong brand.
In other words, that $1,000 investment in 1980 would be worth more than $1.26 million today! But that's not all, because Apple has paid a dividend in several years since 1987. Assuming you never sold a single share along the way, you would've collected an additional $155,131 in dividend payments!
If we apply the S&P 500's average price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 27 to this $70 billion in earnings, Amazon's stock would have a market cap of $1.89 trillion in 2025. This is slightly higher than the current $1.77 trillion valuation.
Aside from its gadgets, Apple also has a very strong services segment. The segment boasts $23.1 billion in revenue, and it has been helping drive the company's to success. Because of its innovation, the stock surged about 23% in 2023 and is expecting to grow more in 2024.
If Apple meets analysts' expectations and grows its EPS at a modest compound annual rate of 8% from fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2030, its EPS could reach $10.50. If its valuation remained at 28 times forward earnings at that point, its stock would be trading at $294, giving it a market cap of $4.5 trillion.
Is Apple a buy in 2024?
Of the 28 analysts covering Apple stock, 15 rate it as a “Strong Buy,” while 3 call it a “Moderate Buy.” Nine more analysts rate it as a “Hold,” while 1 says it's a “Strong Sell.”
If you have individual stocks that appear to be underperforming (consistently), it may be time to cut your losses before those losses stack up even higher. However, if you believe the market will recover (which it usually does), you may decide to hold onto your stocks and ride out the waves.
The big money tends to be made in the first year or two. In most cases, profits should be taken when a stock rises 20% to 25% past a proper buy point. Then there are times to hold out longer, like when a stock jumps more than 20% from a breakout point in three weeks or less.
Investors might sell a stock if it's determined that other opportunities can earn a greater return. If an investor holds onto an underperforming stock or is lagging the overall market, it may be time to sell that stock and put the money to work in another investment.
