Can I sell you my AAPL stock for $300? Should still be a huge bargain for you.

So a company that is trading at 30x earnings with (at best) single digit growth and possibly negative growth next year with no catalyst for growth in sight is undervalued?? How do you figure?

Oh wait, I forgot this is a MacRumors forum. Never mind.

I’m going to predict they made a lot of money and have more cash reserves than most of the G7 nations.

You think the fair value would be 80 times earnings? Apple's PE ratio is currently 28. I don't think it's undervalued.

No catalyst? What about 73% margin services? India and Southeast Asia? Apple Silicon besting the competition? Spatial Computing Vision Pro? After seeing the mindblowing Vision Pro imagine what the Apple Car will be like? No catalyst? Please
How will any of those things help them to return to revenue growth and massively boost their foward EPS by more than double current forward estimates?

For Apple to be at $500 and with their current foward PE of 28.71, Apple would have to bring in $17.41 in earnings per share for FY2023. That's almost 3x their current FY2023 estimate.
